Hey everyone, I have looking for advice from members who have used this substrate.
I am going to change the substrate in one of my tanks to Colombo Flora Base, I have 12 Green Rasbora's in the tank and plenty of Cherry Shrimp. I have been that this substrate will leak some ammonia but no where near as much as Aqua Soil. Ideally I would put the Rasbora's in my bigger tank temporarily but would then have to strip the tank of plants to catch them again which I do not want to do!!
Once the swap is done what process should I follow to make sure the fish are not poisoned by excess ammonia? will doing daily 50% water changes for a few weeks be the solution? and should I lower my daily ferts dosing due to the fact that the substrate will I assume be leaching some nutrients in to the water column?
The tank will have landscape rock, a carpet of HC and some Blyxa Japonica.
Any advice would be appreciated.
