FLuffy Cabbage, I did a little test with some peat balls and they dropped my ph from around 8 to 6.5 overnight. Didn't get to test the hardness however.

I rinsed mine constantly for a few days. Making sure I got my hands well in there to turn over all the cat litter and get it all thoroughly rinsed. When I added it to the tank there was still a fair bit of colour but it cleared up within 3/4 days. It's a bit monotonous but keep at it :thumbup:

No problems using cat litter so far. Plants seem to dig it.

I'd just throw them both in and accept you'll have a brown fragrant tank for a while. There'll be no fish so what's the difference between using your tank and the bath? The smell might go after a week but you'll still be left with a bit of colour from the cat litter, it will be gone soon enough...

No problems with planting so far! Same as ADA or EcoComplete.

It makes me want to puke. God awful smell.

Setting up my first cat litter scape, feels much like a lightweight eco complete.

Is it possible to pre soak cat litter in nutrient rich water to give it some nutrient value? I'm not setting a tank up for a few months but figured I could leave it in a bucket somewhere.

You know those stripes on cars that make it go super fast? That's how PS works. VVRRRRRROOOOOM.

No idea but would love to know.

That's a great idea. I think I'll try that next time.

Soil, but not if you plan to move plants around. The second best option seems to be cat litter but it won't have any nutrients in to start.

This is partly why I switched to natural planted tanks :lol: Cleaning substrate in any planted tanks is a nightmare, especially with ADA Amazonia substrate.

I've just started using it! Looking forward to the results.

Doh! I was under the impression Amazonia was low CEC. Scrap that idea then!

Quick question my litter loving friends. Mixing ADA substrate with cat litter? ADA for the initial nutrient supply and cat litter for long term nutrient supply due to it's high CEC? Good idea? Obviously only needed for a long term scape.

Just cap it with something you like the appearance of.

You can use my name. Thanks.

Only use them if you want your plants to develop consciousness and eventually takeover the world. You don't need the additives, most of them are pseudo science.
