About to order a pallet of aqua soil. This will be the first time ada soil reaches our shores! I know I will be taking some home...will you?

Just received an email from Frank over at Aquarium design group. I guess ADA has a special message concerning the store....!!! They know about our little shop in Alaska! How awesome is that. Im excited to find out what its about.

sorry about that guys. Sadly it was not good news. It was a officially apology from ada Japan for not shipping my items. they are still working on getting me product on the next air shipment. we will figure something out because I know some of you are waiting...and getting impatient like me.

Indeed I am. Currently the 60p is the only tank available to us. I plan on getting three. they should be around $175-$225. I still have to work on pricing obviously. Anybody want to be the first person to take home and ADA tank in the state?

Thank you for the interest. Here is my possible list besides tanks and substrate:

-Bacter 100 (substrate additive/biological filtration food)
-power sand

-tourmaline BC

"Tourmaline BC is a mineral compound of iron, aluminium, sodium, boron, lithium and magnesium which are gradually dissolved, enriching water of important elements. Tourmaline BC is an electrostatic mineral that increases roots plant nutrition. In particular Glossostigma Elatinoides grows 50% more than its normal development." -ADG

-panac w 200g

"Penac W helps to improve the substrate environment. Sprinkle the Penac W powder at the very bottom of the substrate layer. Highly recommended as an additive towards improving aquarium ecosystem health.

Primarily, it prevents the substrate from becoming anaerobic and improves the substrate environment (when applied at the bottom of the substrate upon setup). It also can be added directly to aquarium water in case of an oxygen shortage (such as in the case of co2 overdose), causing rapid oxygenation of the water.

Apply 3 Spoonfuls (included with Penac W) to the bottom of the Aquarium when setting up new substrate in a 60cm (24 inch) aquarium (such as 60-P, 60-F, etc)." -ADG

-Penac p

"Penac P improves the immune system that plants have naturally while promoting more healthy growth. It is commonly used for both horticultural and agricultural purposes.

This substrate additive improves the soil substrate system by helping plants spread roots and grow in healthier and has been a mainstay of Takashi Amano for years. It is extremely effective for plants such as cryptocoryne and echinodorus that suffer from root swelling problems.


Apply 3 Spoonfuls (included with Penac P) to the bottom of the Aquarium when setting up new substrate in a 60cm (24 inch) aquarium (such as 60-P, 60-F, etc)."-ADG

Any aquascape tools or smaller items can be included in this order. Please let me know and I will get it on the pallet to save on shipping.

Thats what power sand is bud. I am also in the process of opening an account with red sea. They sell paintball setups. Any regulator purchased from us can be retrofitted to support paintball tanks. With red sea I will be able to purchase these items.
