Cheers Zeus. Once the scape is set up I have no plans to change it in the short term.Depends on plants/carpet your planning.
Plus it's not just about which holds the best it's also about which is easier to remove the detritus build up which will happen!
So is the tank for competition entry or short term then rescape or for long time 12months plus.
So depends what your planning but healthy growing plants will get a grip in any, for fine low carpet fine powder otherwise STD AS IMO
Cheers Alto. I will be attempting a carpet around the edges of the jungle island. I am not yet sure what carpet plant to go for. Hemianthus callitrichoides looks really nice so it may be this.Powder!
I even use it (only) in my 90 x 45 & 60 x 45 tanks
Not much extra $ here & easier to plant in, “holds” tissue culture plants better than the larger grain size aquarium soils, if you want a very dense carpet Filipe Oliveira suggests the finer particle size
I started with regular soil, with powder on top, but when rescaping it mixes beyond redemption
Since I like to rescape, I finally just went powder
Powder!

I haven't seen people wash it before, could be wrong. But I do not think so.

Many thanks for the feedback guysThat’s right, don’t wash it, just pour it in!
