Hi
As the title suggests I'm looking for a dark black, fine grade, high CEC substrate choice which doesn't have to contain nutrients. I will be dosing the water column so just after a nice dark black substrate choice that will transfer nutrients to the roots.
I did buy 28KG of supalite bonsai soil a while back (the 1-3mm grade) - http://www.kaizenbonsai.com/supalite-black-bonsai-soil but have since realized that was an error as is it too light...half of the material is still floating after a week soaking so unfortunately this is a no go.
They do sell a fine moler clay which would be ideal except its not black.
Does anybody have any alternative suggestions? If there is no such thing available, what commercial substrates would fit this bill best ?
Thanks
Paul
