Hi everyone
First post here
I am planning on constructing a South American biotype aquarium. Am planning on using Colombo flora nutri base in a thin layer followed by a thick capping of Colombo flora base pro. Have been surfing forums and it seems to be a good substrate. Have looked at tropica aquarium soil but I cannot obtain this, can get a good deal on the Colombo stuff. Can also get JBL volcanic media if this will be useful? Or would it just be better to use the Colombo on its own?
Option 1
Colombo flora base pro
Option 2
Colombo flora nutribase followed by Colombo flora base pro
Option 3
Colombo flora nutribase, JBL volcanic rocks, Colombo flora base pro
All help and advice would be great, am in no rush to set this up, trying to plan every element before setting up the tank. Which option would be best, will just be dosing ferts and a carbon source, no co2. Will be only planting South American plants, swords (echinodorus) val and some low lying plants. Will be a medium planted tank. Have tried to create a poll on which option to choose, hope it works.
Cheers chris
