Hi all, Planning a new 60x40 and ive worked out i will need about 12.5l for a 5cm substrate depth. However, i will be using the Tropical plant growth substrate and the soil over the top. What ratios should i use them in? Based on the above calculation would one 2.5l bag of the plant growth...

please delete. answered my own question!

used to use aquabasis in all my tanks and i love the stuff. changed to eco complete for my 4x2x2 and im already thinking of going back to aquabasis. despite it turning the water pink if you fiddle too much, its cheap and really effective!

whos used it? thoughts opinions? i swear by JBL aquabasis as it is cheap and really nutritious. but i would love to hear thoughts on manado. good growth? particle sizes consistent? Cloud the water? Ammonia spikes? a good review would be super.

hi, i have about 45KG of this stuff but i need a lot more before i can get enough slope in my tank. Now, instead of buying more that will cost me about £70 can i use something to bulk it up with. like slide in 10KG of something else, i idealy want just the one substrate, unlike last time (i...

hi guys, it has now hit our shores. proof.... http://www.warehouse-aquatics.co.uk/tropical-coldwater/planting-equipment-additives//new-jbl-manado-25l-planting-substrate-p-4923.html not bad for a 25L bag. if anyone does buy it, i would love to know what they think, take lots of pics before it...

hi, as in the title, does it cloud badly? i have JBL aquabasis and this stuff is a monster at clouding. im thinking about getting some ADA Amazonia (i or ii?) as i believe that doesnt cloud as much?

hi, does this happen to all substrates? when i touch mine (aquabasis and akadama) it clouds so much its annoying. does this happen with other stuff like eco complete, the red sea stuff or ADA stuff? can i have your guys personal experiances on this matter. cheers

hi, can it be crushed into a more of a powder? i want a fine substrate for my next tank and i have some jbl aquabasis but want to cap it with something, i have masses of akadama so i was wondering if i could mash it up a bit. or would that be a bad idea? its only a small tank so i wont need much.

i have some choices to complement my akadama, black gravel and my aquabasis. which is best: (it would help if you have used them but some knowledge is fine) 1) Tropica substrate http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1120 2) Tetra plant complete...

i have a bag of compost outside and it says it contains NPK and trace elements. can i use in in my tank? would it go right on the glass at the very bottom below things like aquabasis and special aquarium plant substrates. i can also get some sphagnum moss peat, is it worth mixing this with my...

hi, on a tank 120x40 would 900g be enough? i think this has to go on the very bottom on the glass, so it would be a very thin layer sprinkled on.

hi, i have some jbl aquabasis and im about to set my 240l tank up, do i need to cap it, (i have black gravel) or not? which looks best? will i suck the aquabasis up when i do a gravel clean? what is the advantage of capping?
