happy days . thanks :)

yep , i was going to drain the tank down and "dry plant" then slowly re-fill . i was more concerned about it turning to mush in that time

not far off of planting now , and im all but decided that im going to go with aquasoil amazonia . 1 question though . although im about 2 weeks off of planting , id like to get it in the tank asap to get a headstart on waterchanging all the leeched ammonia and tannins out . will it be ok to do...

very useful link , thanks

no ammonia is being added :) say 3x 50% waterchanges a week enough initially?

pretty much exactly how im going to set up . ive looked at costs of various substrates , and aquasoil doesnt work out half as expensive as i feared . plus given its reputation i would like to use it if its not going to make life harder with the leeching

the more i read about ada aquasoil , the more tempted i am to use it . but the ammonia in the 1st few weeks concerns me a little . does the ammonia being leeched leave you more open to algae attacks in the early stages ? is it better to wait until it stops leeching before planting ?

i did look at that . what is sand like asa medium for planting in ? i can imagine it getting pretty compacted over time

there are so many available but what are the pros and cons of each ? no way im paying stupid money for aqua soil so ive narrowed it down to either colombo florabase , eco-complete, or seachem flourite . is either of these beter for planting in , longevity etc ?
