Setting up new tank - 450L. Would like good substrate. Will be heavily planted, with fish. Appearance not too important, as like the black look of the final three.
Have read all the posts and still uncertain. Cost is not the main issue. Have narrowed it down to ADA Amazonia 1 aquasoil, Oliver Nott Nature Soil, and Colombo Florabase. Plenty of recommendations for all three on the forum...
Tending towards Nature Soil. Not worried about the ammonia spike from aquasoil, as will be new setup and can sit it out (have 120L established). My question is - which (in your opinion) is the highest quality, or "best" of these. Perhaps there isn't one?
The tank will have fish (mostly rainbows) and could be either high tech or low tech. More interested in which substrate you recommend. Dont believe that having high quality substrate will be barrier to either.
Thanks
Matthew
