ADA Powder
Saw these bags of ADA Amazonian powder soil at Keong Seong. I thought it looks a whole lot more natural compared to the ADA pellets, and I wanted to purchase it to try.
However, I remember reading previously that the normal ADA pellet soils break down to form a powder that will rise up and coat everything in a brown muck when disturbed. If that is the case, then wouldn't this powder soil the water immediately. Then who will buy it, or what is it used for?
I believe ADA won't put out a product that cannot be used -- they have a reputation to keep. So there have to be some use in this soil. Has anyone tried it on its own? Is it better than the pellet form in keeping its form? Or is it a basefert? Any caveats?
Pardon the newbie questions if it sounds foolish. (As I type this I'm thinking to myself, that maybe this powder type soil is meant to go below the pellet type and not in place of the pellet type). I have been using inert lonestar gravel all along, therefore have no experience with these expensive soils, but this time as I'm setting up a 1ft cube, I think I can afford a little bit of ADA. But money hard to earn so I have to spend wisely, so I'm seeking the collective wisdom and experience of this forum first.
Thanks in advance for all your replies

brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
