nicpapa Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hi there i keep crs taiwans pintos in akadama soil, akadama keep ph at 6.4 , but its a dead substrate , crs going very well , pintos and taiwan population not grow very fast. A breeder tell me to try glasgarten soil. Did anyone try it? How it stabilise the ph? How long it can be lowering ph? Ada as i saw works fine but it take a lot of time to do the nitrogen cycle and have lot of benetifs for plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRon Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hello Nicpapa, I use GlasGarten environmental soil and love it. I would suggest using it. You will not be disappointed. I have used it for 1 year now and my Aquariums still hold a ph below 6.0 with RO water remineralized with SS GH+. As far as cycle time, and the amount of Aquariums you have you should have no Problem seeding the Aquariums you choise to use GG soil in. Kind regards, JonRon nicpapa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A question how deep you make your substrate? Are you use undergravel filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRon Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 No I do not use undergravel filter. Depth wise- for a 60l Aquarium I use a 9l bag. Make sure the substrate is more then 4cm high though. I recommend buying the bigger granules, not the powder type. Bigger granules seem to hold ph more stable.

I dont use plants and not need that depth. I will try first with lower substrate as some breeder uses . And see how this will going. I order it yesterday.
