hi all
doing my rescape and didnt have enough akadama to get the slopes i was after
so i bought some tesco cat litter to cap it off, i got the correct variety
i didnt realize it was perfumed, (it doesnt smell) i figured people just rinse it for dust
so anyway i was only using a little bit so i opened the bag and the top layer
was all lovely as the dust settles to the bottom of the bag,
i just chucked in a couple handfuls dry and sure enough the dust was minimal
it made a mad fizzing noise on contact with the water though?
I used some more and rinsed it this time but not like crazy. just for a minute as it wasnt that dusty
so all in all i used about a litre max over about 20l of akadama, should i be concerned?
(100l tank, no fish, already cycled)
thanks
