I keep ornamental dwarf shrimp, and this soil buffers the pH beautifully and keeps it stable. It lasts a lot longer than other not as high quality buffering substrates that are out there. If you are planning a Caridina shrimp tank, this soil is definitely the way to go. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick start-up/cycling the tank *by K***M on March 25, 2019* Time to cycle was significantly decreased when compared to the normal Amazonia. Using a pre-established filter, the tank cycled in less than 2-3 weeks with no big ammonia spikes. The plants seem happy and have been growing like crazy.The tank is still new so I cannot comment on the longevity of the product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A substantial change over the last version *by A***R on February 6, 2020* I used the previous ADA Amazonia (version 1.0) for a high-tech nano tank I set up last year and I was quite happy with the results. For that tank, I had all different types of plants and was rigorously following EI dosing. The major problem with the older version of ADA was the ammonia leaching and water brownness.This version is the other way around. My Iwagumi setup (only grass) has been suffering from the lack of nutrition after a few weeks. I have started dosing fertilizers (PPS-pro) and now the grass is getting better. So my general recommendation is that this soil only provides a very high CEC medium to absorb nutrients from the water column and does not by itself provide adequate nutrition for your plants. It can be beneficial to control your environment, thus it could be a suitable choice for well-experienced hobbyists. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/106808461-ada-aqua-soil-amazonia-ii-normal-type-9l](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/106808461-ada-aqua-soil-amazonia-ii-normal-type-9l) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
