Hi Everyone, first of all forgive me if this is a duplicate post , tried searching under similar subjects but couldn't find much recent information.
I am very excited to start a low tech planted tank with shrimps and some smaller fishes ( like celestial pearl diones ). I am new to the amazing world of planted aquariums. so very excited about it. However I want to make sure I start with a solid information. And the substrate is the probably one of the most important one.
I came across this Tropica Aquarium Soil Powder.
1- Is it good enough on its own? or It needs another base layer substrate underneath it.?
2- how long does it take for the nitrat cycle ?
3- How long does it take to add fertilisers etc?
Id be really appreciate your time and response.
thanks
