I have some aquabasis as well great stuff , how are you finding yours as to , growth , cloudyness? I was also tempted to put aquabasis, osmocote, and some dry ferts like trace... will all this be to much ?

Hello all :D I was wondering would jbl aquabasis plus & sand be OK ?. The reason for have jbl aquabasis plus under the sand is that i have heard, sand on its own crushes the roots and doesn't promote plant growth, correct me if im wrong.

well i think i have 10x turn over. Im running a tetratec 1200 and a seio m620 power head. I just don't like planting or the look of plan pea gravel. My pick would be a sand by this compacts the roots stopping roots to grow so that's out the book :( Was thinking akadama but im not to sure...
