Good day all! A bit frustrated, but I have a feeling I know what went wrong. Three weeks ago I attempted to dry start carpet Eleocharis parvula (20 gal long with Finnex 24/7 planted + and brightwell aquasoil). By day 3, a stench of rot seeped out of the tank when I lifted the clear plastic to...

After some toiling, I decided to purchase Brightwell instead of ADA Aquasoil Powder, for a new setup (20 gal long). I wasn't sure if the ultra fine was going to be compact enough to securely hold carpet plants. I must say, this size definitely works! Added bonus, no ammonia leeching... I only...
