Maintenance of Aqua Soil-Amazonia
at initial stage after Setup
Aqua Soil-Amazonia promotes water plant growth, but sometimes the water in the aquarium tank turns yellow by Amazonia’s active ingredient, humus acid. So please keep following instructions in mind, and maintain the aquarium.
Aqua Soil-Amazonia was developed exclusively for growing aquatic plants, and it is very effective for the growth. Among Aqua Soil series, Aqua Soil-Amazonia particularly performs great result for the growth, because its natural black soil contains humus acid in abundance, and this is one of the features of the Amazonia. However, the humus acid, promoting water plant growth has easily-soluble character, and the water could turn yellow, if the water is alkaline, affected by the tap water level, or aquarium keeping condition. Therefore, this symptom happens easily just after setting up, as the soil contains much humus acid. Although humus acid does not disturb water plant growth, in case you do not like yellow appearance of water, change water frequently in order to remove extra nutrient elements or use NA Carbon and let it absorb the dirt particles.
The water transparency will improve after changing water repeatedly, even though the result may differ depending on aquatic plant growth condition, or water change frequency. When changing water, in case ammonia appears within the aquarium tank, and pH level goes over 7.0, toxicity of ammonia may have a harmful influence toward fish and shrimps. Make sure to monitor water condition.
Caution
In early stage, when bacteria within the filter are not functioning enough, too much organic matters in the water may cause cloudiness of the water. In such as case, the filtration bacteria could be floating in the aquarium tank, catching the organic matters. UV sterilizer is effective for this case.
