Aquarium Advice Regular
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 used one 15lb bag. From now on, this is definitely my go to substrate.
I've had this setup running for 2 months. Some green hair algae, but easily under control with metricide 14 and hydrogen peroxide. Carpeted with the dry start method.
