I've been using on a few scapes over the last 6 months or so. Similar results as Tropica Soil for me. I don't test my water though, so can only give anecdotal evidence.
I have hard water - same as @Aquarium Gardens. We need more CO2 than folk with softer water, and growth on some species can be challenging. However, the trade off in terms of saving time, water, energy and cost makes the decision quite easy not to use RO.

Grateful to be involved with such an inspiring project with Tai Strietman, and so much support from friends, colleagues and businesses.
Planned release date late 2023. Follow #aquatichabitatsbook on the socials.
I spent a whole morning filming at
@Aquarium Gardens for @Tropica YouTube content the other day. This was one of my favourite captures.
Excited to meet some of you guys there on the 26th March!
I think it's a combination of their aesthetic value, their perceived popularity and schooling behaviour.
Aesthetic - Very high impact. Too high for many.
Popular - Too popular for many.
Schooling - They don't school when comfortable so not great for the that final photo unless you can 'scare'...
Great job! I think I'll be using more open sand substrate for my next discus scape.
What's your temperature and water change routine?
Looking forward to following along!
Hi all,
I'm looking at creating more UK-based content featuring fellow hobbyists that are comfortable to share their aquariums and stories.
You don't have to have the highest-end equipment or have the fanciest aquascape. I'm more interested in telling engaging stories that my audience will...
What's the story you're trying to convey with the design?
For me the whole design lacks real cohesion, with the lovely ornamental-style stems in the background contrasting excessively with the more diorama-style hardscape and carpeting plants. In my eye, it's almost a scape of two distinct...
Hi all
I thought I'd share our latest podcast. We hope you enjoy it. Let us know what other topics you'd like to hear about. :D
Special thanks to Aquarium Gardens for supporting this episode. 🙏💚
If you enjoy our podcast please consider leaving a review on Apple podcasts - it really helps us...
These days I encourage beginners interested in aquascaping to stick with easy plants, low-moderate light and CO2 injection. This is a trifecta of guaranteed success in my experience! :D
Sorry the delay guys. I don't fully understand the situation with Amazon myself.
You could try ordering through an independent book store, but I don't know how long shipping would take, as the publishers are in the USA.
You can also pre-order signed through my website...
Hi all,
I've started a new podcast on aquascaping if you're interested!
https://anchor.fm//georgefarmer
Feedback and ideas for future episodes and seasons welcome.
Also I have a new website. https://www.georgefarmerstudios.com
Cheers,
George
Hi all,
I know there's a few of you with some experience of these units already but I thought I'd share my video. Interested to hear your feedback.
It was interesting to read that most of my audience that commented preferred the Twinstar 1200, or even Kessil A360we Tuna Sun.
One thing I did...
I just use the supplied OASE media. Never had an issue with it. In a healthy planted aquarium the plants do the majority of the biological filtration. Buying more media is a waste of time and money in my view if you have a heavily planted and healthy aquarium with sensible fish load and good...
Hi all,
Following my recent trip to the US I created a playlist of the videos I create during my time at ADG. Despite the US having many more challenges getting consistent good quality and variety of aquarium plants compared with Europe these guys are really leading the way in aquascaping over...
Hi, I spoke with the Abyss Aquatic Warehouse this morning and there's provisional plans to organise a big event this summer - my intention is to help with some aquascaping activities. Stay tuned to their Facebook page for details!
Hi,
I collaborate with Evolution Aqua to develop and promote The Aquascape brand. It's not "my" brand, but I have had a significant input into the range (tanks, cabinets, fertiliser and glassware).
Who is going?
https://www.facebook.com/events/1592676360814874/
I'll be scaping three tanks (Aquascaper 600, 900, 1200).
There's some huge displays there including a 3 metre Iwagumi and 700 litre African-theme scape.
8000 litre reef...
Should be fun.
It's also free!
Better dimensions - 50cm vs 30cm front to rear depth.
Better glass - higher clarity, thicker (8 vs 6mm), smoother finish (cerium polished)
16 cabinet finishes available with Aquascaper
It's called The Aquascaper Complete Liquid Plant Food. It's manufactured by Evolution Aqua.
I've been using it for over 12 months in several scapes. It works well.
