Tools Created from Researches and Pract ices

All Nature Aquarium Goods have been developed through the production of numerous Nature Aquariums. Every experience ADA has gained over a long period of time is reflected in the performance and design of the products. This is why the users feel “ADA” in each and every piece of Nature Aquarium Goods. A simple design eliminating all the unnecessaries, which is one of the great features of ADA products, helps make Nature

Aquarium stand out and look more appealing. Nature Aquarium Goods were created for the better enjoyment of more beautiful Nature Aquarium. “Hoping that people care for nature through Nature Aquarium” – this sincere message of ADA is contained in Nature Aquarium Goods.-- We cannot talk about Mother Nature without loving small creatures.--

A Great Focus on Handcraf ted Goods; Pursuit of QualityIn recent years where Nature Aquarium is popular among global aquarists, we can find in aquarium shops a diverse range of aquarium equipment and supplies, but most of them are cheap and affordable plastic items. Considering that p las t ic product i s a symbol o f mass-product ion and mass-consumption, is it possible for us to feel an attachment for aquarium products made of plastic? ADA hopes that the users will have attachment to and use Nature Aquarium Goods as a hobby tool for a long time. That is why ADA has been placing specific focus on “handcrafted goods” since its inception. Glassware and stainless steel ware elaborately made by skilled craftsmen make us feel the warmth and fine taste unique to handcrafted objects. For example, glassware featuring water-like clarity and gentle curves uses no mold for

fabrication, unlike mass-produced plastic ware. The round shape of the glass and bending angles are created or decided solely by the sense penetrated in the craftsman. When looking closely, we find every piece of handcrafted glassware has slightly different shapes. This difference is not caused by rough handling during production but it is a subtle variance as a result of slightly different forces applied while bending or the difference in glassblowing, which gives a “taste” to the product that cannot be found in plastic ware. Serving as a link between the tool and the user’s mind, handcrafted products wil l eventually become one and only tool for the user through a long-time use. In this consumer society filled with lots of disposable things, we should uphold the value of “selecting good item that can be used for a long time”.

For Ideal L ight Environment First LED Lighting System for Planted Aquariums

Light Distribution of AQUASKY 602

The secret to brightness achieved by AQUASKY is high-intensity LED lamps and their arrangement. To brightly light the entire aquarium, AQUASKY uses 0.4W high-intensity LED lamps arranged in a staggered pattern for better light distribution. The heat problem of high-intensity LED lighting has been solved by installing aluminum radiation fins.

(Measurement distance: 12cm which is close to the distance from the light to the water surface)

Promot ing Photosynthesis of Aquat ic Plants

Unlike growing terrestrial plants, we need to supply CO2 to the aquarium to grow aquatic plants in water. CO2 promotes the photosynthesis and helps aquatic plants grow more healthily and attractively. We can observe the formation of oxygen on the aquatic plants that perform photosynthesis vigorously.

What is Live Substrate?

Organic compounds in the substrate are broken down into inorganic compounds, which will eventually be absorbed by aquatic plants through their roots. “Live substrate” means the substrate that is rich in bacteria having a symbiotic relationship with aquatic plant roots. The above picture shows the bacteria derived from Bacter 100.�

An ideal substrate system with rich nutrients and bacteria is made by the interaction of ①,②and③.

* The order of ② and ③ is reversible.

Nutr ient-Rich Live Substrate

Substrate is an important location where aquatic plants spread their roots. One of the things that play an important role in substrate is bacter ia . Bacter ia breaks down the organic compounds accumulated within the substrate into inorganic compounds, which will eventually be absorbed by aquatic plants as nutrients. The nutrient-rich substrate with a presence of active bacteria is truly an idealistic environment.

Comparative Experiment of Soils(After 18 days / “Wabi-kusa” is used for aquatic plants)

Nature Aquarium with various species of aquatic plants is supported by the bacteria living in the substrate. The symbiotic relationship between bacteria and plant roots enables the long-term maintenance of the aquascape.

Aqua Soil-Amazonia

Normal type / 3ℓNormal type / 9ℓ

Aqua Soil-Amazonia is a substrate material produced by baking rare black soil containing rich organic acid and nutrients. This soil promotes the growth of aquatic plants. Powder type is also available.

Promotes the growth of substrate bacteria and provides nutrients to the roots of aquatic plants. Use this sand together with Aqua Soil. Select the size S, M or L according to the depth of aquarium tank.

Bacter 100100g

Bacter 100 is a source of more than 100 kinds of substrate bacteria, which will form an ideal substrate environment for the aquarium.

Clear Super50g

Clear Super absorbs excessive organic compounds within the substrate, which will serve as food and promote the growth of bacteria.

Learning from Nature

The image of a natural landscape can give you some inspiring ideas in making a rock arrangement.

In Nature Aquarium, the environment within an aquarium is supported by a small ecosystem called microflora, which is fo rmed by the in te rac t i on o f aquat ic p lan t , fi sh and microorganisms. The ideas and know-how about adopting the laws of nature are based on the fundamental concept of Nature Aquarium, “Learning from Nature”. There is another important factor in the perspective of “Learning from Nature”. That is to look at the beauty in nature and incorporate the aesthetic elements into the layout expressions. For example, when we

observe the landscape of seashore dotted with rock reefs, we input the images and information on that landscape, such as naturally positioned rocks and their balance and connections, in our mind. The accumulated images of natural landscapes will later be output as a rock arrangement in an Iwagumi layout. In every aspect, Nature Aquarium seeks inspiration from nature and tries to reproduce the natural landscape in an aquarium. It is truly a miniature nature in which universal beauty of nature is expressed.

Just as in the nature, a good balance of the aquarium environment is maintained in Nature Aquarium by interaction of aquatic plant, fish and microorganisms. Observing the formation of beautiful aquascape along with the growth of aquatic plants is one of the best things in Nature Aquarium and we can feel the drama of the nature in there.
