Hi All
I apologise if there is a similar threat out there to this but i have scoured and haven't seen.
I've had a few aquariums but never a planted one. Its been something I've wanted to setup for a while and now i have the tank and the wood etc for inside i'm stuck on the Soil / Substrate.
I want to have a low tech setup and will add liquid co2 at most so will go for hard plants etc but not decided these 100% yet.
I'd like the substrate colour to be a white to make the base vivid but I've been looking at the JBL proscape plant soil vs the JBL sansibar. We're a hard water area so the plant soil sounds good for softening water but doesn't come in white. I plan to have some aquabasis plus underneath also (sorry just using JBL products for this as been recommended these so if you'd recommend others i'd love to know).
Basically can i have some white small stone substrate over the plant soil or would you just recommend something like the sansibar white. Has anyone had something similar.
Sorry for the basic question but its something i don't want to get wrong.
Thanks in advance
Dan
