Review: Great Aquarium Soil for beginners to advanced hobbyist - Purchased this for my 60x30x30 cm Aquarium. Some people may have doubts that 9 lts is not sufficient, you can always go with bottom layer of Topica and top it up with river sand. The plants are thriving. One additonal thing I did was adding ADA bacteria which helped colonize healthy bacteria. The purchase is really worth the price and does great job.
Review: This is the best alternative of desertcartian soil - After few months I will share my plant growth I'm set up my tank dry start method update soon 🙂
