Hi Folks,
I'm setting up a low tec tank. I was originally going to use soil and gravel as per Tim's tutorial. I'm now thinking about using one of the aquasoils (Tropica or Dennerle etc).
My question is, is the aqusoil enough on its own to sustain the tank (with added ferts) or should I use a soil mix as metioned below and cap it with the aquasoil:

I guess I'm looking for a belt and braces approach but don't want overkill.
