For those unfamiliar with my tank, the journal:
Recently I've been thinking about moving the tank back to aquasoil, but Ive had a poor experience with aquasoil in the past. ADA Amazonia v1, while very nutrient rich, did not hold up well and crumbled after 6 or so months of rigorous replanting and substrate disturbance. Tropica powder soil worked well, but was too light and just flew everywhere.
So here are the factors I want to consider in choosing my soil:
Lower pH
Good nutrient content with ammonia.
Holds up well over time even with lots of replanting
Easy to clean and upkeep with weekly WC
Can't be too dusty
my current options I'm considering are:
Master soil
Landen aquasoil
Tropica regular soil
Any other suggestions for a soil?
Cheers.
My 60p soft water
rescape..... after one week (only 3 days lights on) kh:0-2 gh-10 ph>6 CO2:30-40ppm (lime green/yellow) Ludwigia senegalensis will be arriving on wednesday. Highly recommend K2aqua on Ebay. tonina and ludwigia white is also from there. plant list: Limnophila Sessiliflora (to be removed)...
