Hi Guys,
Anyone who knows me on here will remember my journal 'The Full Monty'
As you will have read, the Full Monty gradually over two years became a semi planted Discus tank, and eventually, sadly into a bare bottomed Wild Discus tank.
Well the Discus have all gone to a new home, so I am stripping down my tank, binning all the filter media and starting again from scratch.
The intention is to use 30 X 10 cm natural slate tiles and section off areas to the right, back centre and left sides of the base of the tank. So creating a sectioned planting area leaving a centre section for my Bogwood centre piece.
I am asking for advice / views on my new selection of planting substrate. I have read some of the posts on here and seen some conflicting views. Previously I have only gone with ADA Substrates, Amazonia soil etc. But now I am looking at planting substrates from Tetra, JBL, Caribsea Eco Complete, Tropica and a few others. Having read some of the reviews I am totally unsure which one to go with this time around.
Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
