Morning Stoney.

you couldn’t go wrong with using Tropica.
Amount needed would depend on look you was achieving and the hardscape itself...a 190 would need a minimum of 2x 9 litre bags in my opinion

thanks just looking to keep hardy stuff tbh will look at tropica now

I'm having great success with a substrate based mainly on playsand. The back is playsand mixed with gravel and the foreground is pure playsand. All areas are fertilised using a clay based formula. There is also co2 and EI liquid.

I use tropica in my tanks. Excuse the mess, it's due a well needed trim
