I have been planning my next scape which I will be starting sometime after october. I have given up on this scape because I have been unable to grow HC in it and it has been overrun with algae. I also have to wait a few months for my shrimperies shrimp to grow to a size where the fish wont eat them.
My question is: I will be wanting crypt wendetti's and mosses along with a few larger medium growth plants and HC. So far I have chosen ada amozonia 2 and would like to ask for you guys oppinions on its suitability for these plants.
I beleive I have stuffed up growing my HC because their is basically no nutrient in the sand that it had rooted in as the nutrient substrate was too deep for their roots to reach. I tried combating this by placing root tabs beneath which didnt work. The water perametres, co2, light.. have all been good.
My next question is ina 182x45cm tank. 5cms sloping to 10 cms at the back works out 7 bags of substrate or $505. (including shipping) So my question is when you guys use ada substrate, does it make the whole volume of your substrate?
