ADA Tourmaline BC – 100 g | Mineral Substrate Additive for Planted Aquariums

ADA Tourmaline BC is a specialized substrate supplement developed by Aqua Design Amano (ADA) to enhance the long-term health and performance of planted aquariums. It contains finely powdered tourmaline mineral combined with bamboo charcoal (BC), both known for their beneficial effects on water quality and substrate activity.

Tourmaline naturally emits weak electrical charges that help stimulate beneficial bacteria, improve nutrient absorption, and enhance root metabolism. The bamboo charcoal component aids in adsorbing impurities and organic waste, promoting a cleaner and more stable substrate environment.

When used beneath aquasoil or substrate layers, ADA Tourmaline BC improves oxygen circulation, encourages microbial diversity, and supports vigorous plant growth. It is commonly used during new aquarium setups or substrate renewal and is safe for fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants.
