hi, i'm looking for a substrate for my new nano. it will be planted with Rotala, Dwarf hairgrass, glosso, possibly hc and crypts (with mosses/ferns on wood and a mesh carpet). i've come across akadama, and having read JamesC's sticky i have come to the conclusion that it is a very good substrate. i will be dosing EI. i will use liquid carbon or yeast based co2 at first, then pressurised later on (my parents aren't too keen on the safety of pressurised, but someone we know is starting with it so we'll see how he gets on). the tank is 40l, 33cm (l) x 33cm (w) x 40cm (h). the lighting is 18w superfish light. do you think this is a good choice of substrate for my planted shrimp tank, and if so, is there anyone who sells it around the Hull/Beverley area, or anyone who would post it. i'm looking for the Double Red Line Hard Quality with a 0-6mm grain size. and will one 14l bag be enough?
cheers
