Mr. AquaN-MAR-067 8 L Course Pet Habitat Water Plant Soil

Used for a planted shrimp tank. This is an improvement over the Dennerle Shrimp King soil I used before, which crumbled a bit easier and was slightly more difficult to insert plants into the soil. Additionally, Mr Aqua soil did not cloud up the water as badly as I had come to expect from active soil. I will be going with this brand going forward.

Very fast shipping and was in a nice packaged box. Have heard good things about this soil and am excited to see what it does for my plants. Swords, Anubis, java fern and a couple unknowns. Will post more pics in a couple months with update. Have also added flourite black fertilizer from previous tank, flourite lava rock, and root tabs. Bought this product becaus my swords were turning clear and brown and I read it was because they are heavy root feeders. So hopefully this works. 50bucks is a lot to waste. Running an onyx led light as well as fluval aquasky. Dose with flourish plant food and co2 booster

This is definitely pricey but it's worth it. I didn't pay attention to the fact that they are little black balls, not a compact dirt-like substrate as I expected, and I'm more pleased with how it came than I anticipated. I feel the small round shape allows more water flow through the substrate which will aerate the root system. It also just looks really nice. I would definitely order this again but I don't need any more tanks!

No dust to cloud the water.

Great substrate for growing plants. Lowers KH from 9 to 2, GH stayed the same at 8-10.Better performance in plant growth than Fluval Stratum and equal to ADA aquasoil in my opinion.
