Hello, the soil of my aquarium is 1 year old, it is a nutrient base jbl aquabasis plus, I completely put the bag of 5kg in a 51liters, that is to say the double more nutrients, they said it's valid for 5 years, don't think that's true, I covered with a sand of Loire which seems to me with rather fine granulometry, I do not know if it is the soil but I find that the plants have difficulty in making their roots, they take time to develop, is a technical soil would be more successful or akadama soil ?
