Tropica Aquarium Soil!

[Wisey]

That's really disappointing, I take it that it's still not arrived? I've been away for a long weekend so not been on the forums since Friday. It was just a tiny ziplock bag with some soil, it wasn't heavy and certainly wasn't over sized and even so it should still be delivered and they would try and sting you for extra postage on delivery. It was so light you can't imagine anyone would think it worth stealing.

I hope it's not been passed on to the drug squad, 2AM and they put your door in and storm the house thinking the soil s something else!

worse ... think biowarfare
(re soil base)

fortunately it's most likely just been dropped & forgotten 😵

Just to clarify; the Tropica soil come in two sizes - a "standard" and a "powder" (you guess which is smaller 😉)

That's a good point, so I should clarify that the grain size I sent you was the Standard, not the smaller powder. I guess it could have got smashed up smaller in the post though... I have no idea how the grain size compares to ADA as I have never used it.

the tropica aquarium soil i had was in various size bits, dry in consistency bits ranging from 1ml to 4ml 🙂

I had recently changed over to wasted method, using john innes number 3.

my tropica aquarium (i used their ferts too) and also glut, found balance using 1ml of premium and specialised ferts everyday, 2 week water change 55 litre tank.

however some of the plants still struggled and i didn't like the idea of using glut. I thought over and over again about pressurised co2 but thought to go walstad in the end.

I'm on my 6th day, so too early to judge yet but hopefully it'll work, definitely worth considering!
