The bag is much smaller than I expected. I'll have enough to do many more tanks using it according to instructions. I mixed the substrate as direct with a small amount of this mix and capped it with two inches of sand. There was a lot of air bubbles t first. Now there is a constant stream of tiny air bubbles from all over the place. I guess that's the substrate doing its job.
Hands-down the best product out there, father Fish has nailed it again. Wonβt have to worry about supplement my tank for years to come!!
Amazing product. Don't get me wrong. You can get everything yourself and create something similar. But why do that when you have every nutrient and macronutrient measure it out perfectly for you takes a lot of the fuss out of worrying about how much nutrients to use great product. Would recommend to other people just starting out in the fish world
Great products, I've used the soil additive for years, my planted tanks look great. Makes life so much easier when you start off using the right materials.
An amazing piece of work with great content and photos. βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
