Hey,

I am planning to plant some plants in my nano aquarium like anubias, bucephalandras,Bolbitus Heudelotii which they just need to be attached on rock/wood as far as I know. In this case, shall I skip using my Tropica aqua soil? I am not trying to save money here since I already have some aquasoil from the previous setup and due to the size of the aquarium I will not use more than 3 lt..

Thank you

I think has helped avoid algae issues which have plagued Buce in my other tank (see picture).

I followed the advice on this thread using capped John Innes No3:
