Here's a question for those of you who have tried both, preferably.
As you may know, I recently removed most of the Colombo Florabase (CF) from my tank and covered the remaining 1.5cm with Unipac Samoa Sand. The reason was that I found the CF too light to plant in. In particular, stem plants seemed to float out all the time. And any movement in the tank had the CF wafting over the adjacent sand feature. 🙁
Now I chatted to someone who claimed that the ADA aquasoil was leaps and bounds better than CF, and that I would not have had this problem with it as it is far heavier than CF. Yet another person tells me this is not the case and that they are both similar products manufactured in the same factory in Japan !
I am at a loss now, as I was considering using the ADA stuff next time around, but do not want to make the same mistake twice.
Has anyone tried both and found the ADA to be heavier and significantly easier to plant in ? What about product quality comparison ?
Please make your comments, as at the moment I am getting to the stage where I am "over" all of these fancy branded products.
