yep, I added a 10 tea spoons of Kno3, 3 teaspoons of KH2PO4 and 3 teaspoons of traces into my mix and then capped with sand, it seems to be working!

The cat litter absorbs nutrients from the water column, so any fish waste, fertilisers etc. The only reason I use it over nutrient rich substrates like ADA or naturesoil is because of the price.

only if it isn't capped, I've capped mine and I'm having brilliant results. I believe that if its baked its safe to use it on its own, don't quote me on it though.

I use it and I'm not going to pay for other substrates again! It's just as good IMO. It has a high CEC (cation exchange capacity) so it can absorb nutrients and release them over time, so water column fertilization is required.

ceg, otherwise known as clive. Clay Cat litter is similar to the tropica substrate, High CEC (cation exchange capactiy) the ability to take on nutrients and release them slowly over time. EI is estimative index.

I also suggest you put a thin layer of clay cat litter under the play sand, I'm having great success with this in a high tech tank, I also mixed the substrate in with KNO3 and KH2PO4 to give it a bit of an edge.

do you reckon its worth pouring a watered down DIY TPN+ onto it before i cap it? im not baking it as my mother wouldnt like cat litter in her oven :roll:

a browny colour...the same colour as tropica plant substrate

it sinks and settles :D im guessing its safe to use then? its 100% clay granules

yeah you did aaron...i ended up buy the P@H stuff it was sooo cheap...im just going to run a test on it...the granules are quite hard though

hi all i bought 5 litres of clay cat litter for £1.69 its got to be the cheapest fertiliser substrate. it was from pets at home

where can i find it? and how much does it cost?

does anybody know of any clay based cat litters that are safe? i cant get hold of any tropica or JBL...so this must be the next best thing. thanks jack
