II Knucklez II Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm setting up some new tanks for PRL's and blue blots and wanted to see if anyone has long term experience with dennerle. Packaging says 6 to 6.5 which is lower then what Mr aqua states (6.5). I have used Mr Aqua years ago and it worked great for shrimp and plants but since now I'm just using for shrimp I wanted to see what people think is the best for keep on down and lasting a while.

OMG Aquatics Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Try SL-Aqua Nature Soil. It keeps my pH around 5.3-5.7 for a good year and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Aquatics Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 About 1.5 years in 3 tanks. All substrate will break down eventually but usually will likely take years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the infoSent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plamski Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 ADA Amazonia regular for ph 5.8-6 or Africana for PH 5.2-5.5. best for me is 1.5" Africana topped with 1.5' Amazonia for long run 2.5-4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
