im planning to switch this tank to basically only slow growing plants so do you think its actually worth keeping any of the aqua soil or should i just replace it entirely with sand? also in terms of sand, can i just use any old sand i get from the hardware store (under the assumption that i...

Sorry to bring this thread back but ive been considering greatly reducing the substrate level and then adding a sand cap for the aesthetics because ive pretty much concluded that the yellow of the water is from either the wood or susbtrate leeching organics as I added some purigen and it...

got water tested and both ph and gh/kh were in normal levels however there was a small amount of ammonia and nitrate present so probs was a small crash because of it. Bought some more carbon and will start using it with phosguard. I got a tub of the fluval carbon but it doesnt say dose levels so...

its phosguard that i have
