Subbed, a bit late to the party but hey its they busiest time of year at work... How many tanks does this make brookster??? Interested to see how you like the aqua soil compared to eco.

Part of me says buck the trend and go with Brightwell. But is it inert? If so, then perhaps you can look at it as a fine grain version of EcoComplete.
I say fork out the dough and try the ADA.

ADA- at least you can say you tried it, go for the gold buddy.

While I've read good things about Brightwell and have a bag of of it still unopened, I can't fully vouch for it since I've yet to try it. But it still seems that AS remains the best in terms of nutrients -- from what I'm reading.
Brook - have you tried looking around locally if anyone is selling AS or can get it for you cheaper? Where did RcGuerra get his?
That shipping rate is a bit much. $35 can get you some different and interesting plants.
I was reading a dated (2012) thread on TPT about a Brightwell substrate which I believe was discontinued (hindsight, not the same product); hence the inert comment.

It will also be nice to give it a proper field test, I've proven products to be useless crap before... hopefully never again, all in the name of aquarium advice!! I want some aspidoras, they're super mini corys, this is going to be a true nano tank!! Thoughts on sieryu stone?? Brian reccomended it for buffering the substrate, I'd like to possibly try a piece, would it clash terribly with spider wood?

Did you order the fine or extra fine particle size? I thought fine was the finest, but after looking again, I see there's "extra" fine. Wonder what's similar to powder type?
I completely understand your decision but I think you've made the wrong one here mate.
Interesting to see how this bright well stuff does now. I hope it does a solid job

I think brightwell is a solid company. On the 'bright' side (pun intended), you're supporting an American company. Make us proud Brookster... let made in America mean something again haha
