Colombo Florabase

[L_Plates]

Hello all, i have just planted my shrimp tank and the substrate is Colombo Florabase.

I have read that this substrate leaches ammonia, and also i have read that it does not.

Can anyone tell me from experience if it does or does not leach ammonia.

I am trying to figure out when its safe to order my shrimp

Thanks in advance, LP

it does, i have used it in 2 tanks now and stocked almost straight away with Cherries and had no deaths.
