Hi
How much difference do the decent substrates make over none or cheap ones, i have recently joined ukaps and knew nothing prior to reading here, i unfortunately went with a full load of just normal play sand from argos and cycled fishless then bought the fish etc, i am now wondering if i've made it impossible to grow decent plants? Would it be worth the time to remake the tank, and especially with the ada soils i read that it will take three weeks to sort itself out before i can put the fish in so would need to buy a secondary tank!
Basically, just how much of a difference does a decent substrate make?
