Product details

ADA Tourmaline BC

Mineral-enriched substrate additive: bamboo charcoal + tourmaline for healthier root zones

Product Overview

ADA Tourmaline BC is a fine powder additive for your aquarium substrate, combining activated bamboo charcoal with tourmaline minerals (including iron, aluminium, boron, magnesium, lithium). It is designed to improve substrate chemistry, absorb organic pollutants, and support better nutrient uptake by aquatic plants.

This additive is part of ADA’s Substrate Additive lineup, intended to complement ADA’s Aqua Soil, Power Sand, Bacter 100, and Clear Super products.

Key Features & Benefits

Pollutant absorption via charcoal
The bamboo charcoal component helps bind and reduce dissolved organic compounds, reducing substrate stress and improving overall water quality.

Mineral supplementation from tourmaline
Slowly releases trace minerals (boron, iron, aluminium, magnesium, lithium) into the substrate environment, which may help plants with mineral uptake and mitigate deficiencies.

Improves nutrient uptake / root stimulation
ADA and retailers suggest that Tourmaline BC helps plants absorb nutrients more efficiently, especially in the root zone, contributing to healthier growth.

Synergy with other substrate additives
Often used in conjunction with Bacter 100 and Clear Super to build a robust substrate ecosystem (microbial life + mineral support + pollutant adsorption).
