Hi Dean P@H have it. I use it in my large tank and my bonsai trees. Holds shape very well but is a bit coarse . Thats the one. Kaizen bonsai used to have danish pink (Moler clay different name ) with smaller grain but not sure if its in stock now or what is the price . Its under media straight...

Hi if you have a good relationship with the place that sold it to you or if they have decent customer service it may be worth to drop them a message to let them know.You may be able to get some sort of compensation/ voucher as the product is not as described while may still be usable. It...

Hi You probably have hit a bad batch. There are few people in past complaining of Amazonia turning to dust. It is normal to have some but yours seems excessive. Usually it keeps its shape quite well for years. Regards Konstantin

Yes you can do that if sand is the look you are after or just aqua soil on top....I personally tend to plant very heavy so no open spaces for sand. Can't help it ,just keep sticking plants in whereever I can fit.lol Regards Konstantin

Hi I like to use moler clay as a bulk to build my substrate instead of gravel ,it yields good results and doesn't break down. You can mix it with aquasoil too if you want or put some (light sprinkle)Osmocote under it to give it some nutrients.It is light and will find its way up if you don't...

Hi If you get algae it won't be the cause of it. I have reused Amazonia mixed with power sand special before without any issues. Regards Konstantin

Hi It will be fine.Have no worries. Only downside will be if you don't like the look of it on top and it makes its way up ;) Regards Konstantin

Hi Tropica Plant growth substrate unlike soil that is light and powdery goes like a firm clay layer with time.I have used it without separation and managed to separate 90%of the sand after 1 year without issues when I restarted the tank. Regards Konstantin

Hi I have inert sand gravel and sand in my tanks and it grows plants well but nothing compared to aquasoil. If U will have the urge to move plants soil (dirt)base can be a bit messy. U can sprinkle some osmocote on bottom too with good results if U opt for gravel. I have used different soils in...

Thats the one. @foxfish Any good for bonsai too?

Hi Dean Yes it is.May have added scent to it tho. Weren't able to get some as had too much stuff to get for the pets. https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/lightweight-non-clumping-pink-cat-litter Regards Konsa

Hi all Just been at P@H today and saw Sanicat non clumping litter for £12 ish for 30l bag. Dont know how it will bahave underwater tho Regards Konsa

Hi all This is more or less the same as the litter https://www.kaizenbonsai.com/moler-fine-grain-biozorb-terramol-danish-pink-bonsai-soil-growing-media Regards Konsa

Hi I used it in my 22l tank capped only with 3 cm sand.It did not mix at all.After about year or year and a half when rescaped it was more like wet clay rather than the usual powder U get when using soil.I managed to scrape most sand off the clay to reuse itagain with very little left behind ...

Hi It shouldn't be very soft but yes it will get crumbled between your fingers with some pressure aplied. There was one case in here that the soil turned to silt shortly after flooding.Bad batch I suppose.But thats the only time I have heard of it...

Hi U don't need to worry about the power sand. I had it the past more than 10cm deep Regards Konsa

Hi Akadama is £16 for 14l bag where I get it from but there is about 8 quid postage and they have only 2-8mm grade atm If U can't find unscented cat liter have a look for Danish pink that is moler clay (but very light) As long as the medium is not too fine <2mm U will be fine with...

Hi The suggestions that I gave are based on the fact that the medium on bottom will be coarse (1,5 cm plus ),inert and bits of the tropica soil will inevitably mix in.The plants will not care if only 5cm of your substrate is fertile tbh they can take up nutrients perfectly well with their...

Hi U can use alfagrog,lava rock or coarse gravel in bags to build height and cap Tropica soil on top of it.It will save U some cash and have a good tested substrate Regards Konsa

Hi I will advise to chsnge substrate.The gold fish will sift trough it.And will crumble it down making a right mess.Sand will be best in my opinion .Thin (2cm) layer fine sand will keep them happy while preventing anaerobic substrate and getting filled with muck. Regards Konsa

Hi It will be better to dry it.

Hi I agree with U that substrate choice its very deppendant on the source water . As for the big waterchanges as long as TDS is not fluctuating dramatically dont thing the shrimp mind as in other thanks I had with Aquasoil and harder water was doing daily waterchanges for months and they breed...

Hi First of all I am not questioning the above posts and tbh I agree with them. My latest experience says otherwise unfortunately.Neocardina shrimps although very hardy will not breed well in soft water with low tds values. My 36l dirtied tank is more than a year old and Im yet to see lots of a...

I hope U get it resolved Its a great product and is very bizarre what is happening to U. Regards Konsa

Hi The retailer is trying to bulshit U a bit imo.I had Amazonia in 2008,used it for 8 months, took it out in a bin bag wet and used it 4-5 years later still wet in bag when I opened it there was a bit of dust while rinsing it without stirring to hard and used it in a scape.It was softer but...

Hi I had in mind to sirculate the water with the sponges (to preserve the bacteria ) not the fish(they will be fine).If I were UI will clean the sump chamber and get al muck out of there too is the sponge that is important it will have enough mulm in them to feed the bacteria If U have ciano...

Hi Sounds like a good plan.U can put the pump in the bucket with the sponges to circulate the water.The Tropica Plant Growth will not give off Ammonia and capping with inert sand should seal it completely anyway.Do not clean the sponges when U take them out to try to preserve as much bacteria as...

Hi If U are after a different look rescape and change substrate with sth more plant friendly.But if U like it just start dosing complete fertiliser (macros +micros ) or up the dose if U already do.Plants are capable of absorbing nutrients via their leaves and roots.As long the nutrients are...

Hi There is no problem to layer the substrate and hardscape it and leave it dry.The aquasoil and additives are dry anyway.U can cling film it on top and wet it 24 hours before planting to let it soak well. Not sure how will the additives react if kept moist but not flooded and water circulated...
