I am planning a rescape of my tank and I'm considering the experience of using a fertile substrate. So far I've been successful with inert substrates but I'd like to take the best of both methods (substrate and liquid ferts).
My tank is a 10L so even the more expensive substrate are relatively cheap. I know ADA Amazonia is the substrate. However, my tank is rather small and I am afraid that it will be too much in my case. I have thus thought of using the ADA Africana. It is said to have a lower level of nutrientes compared to Amazonia. I kind of like the looks of it, especially the powder version.
Does any one have experience with the Africana? Any drawbacks? Is it good to grow plants?
Cheers,
GM

Can't even remember the last time I fertilized the tank - It's been completely neglected for 2 months or so. My Crypts seem to love it.
