For my next tank I'm looking for the advantage and disadvantage of using a soil and a few question arise which can be answered hopefully by you.
When looking at Aqua Soil Amazonia at some webshops they are "telling" me that, to create the perfect substrate I need at least:
ADA Penac W
ADA Penac P
ADA Bacter 100
ADA Clear Super
ADA Tourmaline BC
ADA Power Sand
ADA Aqua Soil Normal
ADA Aqua Soil Powder
Are all these extra products needed/advised, or is it fine to only use Aqua Soil Amazonia? Will there be a big advantage when using the extra substrate products? What's the most used combination of these ADA soils?
As a soil substrate is (for me) quite expensive I was wondering if it is true that a soil will lose its properties after approximately one year - what are the experiences with this?
Should I empty/rescape my tank when the soil lost its properties because plants don't have the benefits of this substrate anymore? If this doesn't matter and I can just leave my tank running - why did I use the soil then?
