I was just wondering what anyone thought of Tropica Aquacare substrate. I was going to buy a tub of the Tetra stuff ,but was advised at the Lfs to use the Tropica one.Does anyone on here use it. and is it any good.
What filter do you have and what size tank is it?The tank is clearing now.Taking most of the day though.
It is composed of sandy looking Clay and Sphagnum moss according to the packet. the floating pieces are quite small and look like Peat compost.
There was also a 4 inch long piece of wood, this had Varnish on one side,not sure why that was doing in there.Obviously not a very control system on the product line.
Yes i put the Tropica in then placed wet gravel on top. After i filled the tank with water, i replaced the Bogwood ,and noticed where i had pressed it into the gravel in one spot, the Tropica was showing through but as it was wet by then wasn't flying around the tank but stayed in place.
Just have to see what happens when i plant it up.
Was the Cactus Compost Soil or peat based.My guess is Peat from what you said.Thanks for the reply. I may get some of the tetra (the cactus compost was an experiment £4/10 litres) as I only need to look at the tank for the compost to erupt!
