The ADA range is a comprehensive and precise range of products, which not only aims to re-create the natural environment but also encourage maximum plant growth and plant cell multiplication. The product range is able to do this through a unique blend of specially targeted nutrient types, minerals and extracts specially formulated to target every stage of plant growth, from the initial acclimatisation stage right through to long-term maintenance and health. The ADA system is one of the only products available on the market, which looks at the whole picture, aiming not only to encourage plant growth but also to re-create the natural aquatic conditions as close as possible. Nutrient levels, general water conditions such as; pH, mineral levels, substrate water movement and temperature are just some of the targeted areas of the ADA products.     Tanks such as this become a reality with the aid of ADA soild and Fertalisers.    First designed and used By renowned aquarist and creator of The International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest, Takashi Amano of Japan, this unique range of products has already become a world wide success with aquarist in The US, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the UK, Ireland, China, and now finally Australia where it is being heralded as “the greatest invention since liquid fertilisers”.

Being both tried and tested in the laboratories of the world and in our own aquariums as well as the aquariums of our staff and clients. The ADA range provides aquarists of any age and caliber the correct tools and skill sets to accomplish, what to them has up to now appeared near impossible: the ability to recreate nature and exhibit a portion of the under water world as they desire, right in the comfort of there own living rooms.
