substrate confusion (tech)

[gone fishin]

Can anyone tell me the relationship between arconite, p2so4, and profile?Get me started and I'll clarify

Profile is a substrate. From what I was able to find arconite and K2SO4 are the same thing and supply potassium to the plants.

Isnt profile arconite?

 

[Guest]

Not from what I was able to discover on Google. If you enter arconite you come up with links to sites that say arconite is K2SO4.

Profile is a baked clay product.

What company manufactures/distributes it? It's funny it did not come up on my Google search.

Schultz Aquatic Plant Soil-it even comes in a 50# bag for $13

Big oval on front says profile.

I know what Profile is. I was wondering about Arconite.

I'm hoping I can claim short term memory loss on this - after close scrutiny on the bag it says arcillite.

Arcillite - calcined, montmorillonite clay.

Montmorillonite - one of the major components of bentonite and fuller's earth. Hydrous aluminum silicate with a considerable capacity for exchanging part of the aluminum for Mg and bases. High natural adsorptive power. Good CEC.
