I second that!

i think the secret is using something that would allow flow through the substrate as you dont want it going anaerobic etc. The boys at TGM have just done a super deep scape and the substrate at the back had to be 24 inches at least, ask them...

9l bag should get you going

Insert thin plastic sheet into the substrate to create barriers

George is bang on, albeit if you have a mature filter to use on the tank that changes things.

Afraid i disagree..... Amazonia 1 is far better product used it loads and the yellowing if any only lasts first 2 weeks and is only slight.

Hello Matthew and welcome to UKAPS! You will find that the three you have chosen will all get good reviews and people loyal to each of the brands and will point you to what they have had good experiences with. Personally, i am a big fan of the ADA Amazonia and have used it many of my tanks...

Great question! As I am about to reuse mine mixed with a new bag, and some tropica tabs. Will it be as good?

Re: Base Later: Tropica Aquacare or ADA Powersand special? I have had great success with the ADA powersand special, in every tank i have used it in (3 of my own, plus 3 others i have helped with) My only comment with the Tropica aquacare is that you have to cap it really well, otherwise it can...

Re: Aquatic shop in London where ADA Aquasoil can be purchas nope great shop, one of the site sponsorshttp://www.thegreenmachineaquatics.com/mall/Aquatics/

Re: Aquatic shop in London where ADA Aquasoil can be purchas You can buy ADA from a couple of places now, but TGM does free shipping on spends over £60 (i think) so its worth getting a load of bits in one order. :thumbup:

Re: ADA vs Oliver Knott ADA all the way! :thumbup:

Wow you can actually see the plants now! That's so much clearer, excellent growth on the plants by the way. :thumbup:

Re: Tropica Substrate Problems Holly crap! :lol: I am getting confused now! Here is a pic of the cloudiness: (ignore the internal filter and heater just a temp thing) I am not sure what cause it to be honest but the tank gets regular water changes and maintenance, its approx 3 weeks old...

Re: Tropica Substrate Problems We could do, but then if it doesn't work would have thrown more money at it. :eh: Its defo worth considering though. :geek:

Re: Tropica Substrate Problems Ok then people i have a real challenge then!! We now have to separate the Tropica from our ADA Amazonia, any tricks? :roll:

Re: Tropica Substrate Problems I got a bit of "twitch" on for Jim and Mark, Its always great when your not paying! :lol:

Re: Tropica Substrate Problems Excellent, so i fear that the Tropica has simply not been capped enough. Do you think that ada is good for capping tropica or is it to light and easily disturbed? We took influence from Oliver knotts tank at TGM? Although he did use tonnes of ada and we only...

Re: Tropica Substrate Problems I don' think its capped enough. The only other thing that could cause this cloudiness is the stones, which are Fossilized wood purchased from TGM, is this know to cause any problems?

Hello Reference Tropica Substrate has anybody had any problems with this causing cloudyness in the water? I recently saw Oliver knott cap this with ADA amazonia powder at TGM demo day, but i am helping a friend and he has done the same but gets constant cloudy water, He suspects that the...

no its sitting all fresh in its bag on the side! not opened it yet, didnt want to spoli the Goodness! :mrgreen:

cheers george thought that was the answer but just wanted to check Almost didnt ask as i thought it was a stupid question.

First time I have used ADA Aquasoil Amazonia do you need to rinse it b4 putting in the tank? To prevent cloudyness?

Greetings About to start a my first true aquapsape with all the proper bits, although i have had fish for 15 years. I am looking at using the ADA Aqua soil and understand it to be a complete solution. However what i dont understand is why do people add other things under it? Or am i simply...
