I'm redoing my planted 30 gal tank and can't figure out what would be best for substrate. I have Carib Eco Sea in there now and my pH hangs around 7.4. I does with Thrive weekly and have CO2.
I was considering keeping the Eco Sea and adding a plant soil like Flourite Black Sand, but I was unsure whether I should use something like Amazonia to soften/acidify the water. Any advice on a combination of substrates that will give my plants the calcium they need while keeping the pH from getting too high? I'd like to keep the pH around 7.0
