    The brand already say "UPZ"

    I recall someone got a set with this soil. He notice the PH at high side he was lucky when he went back to the shop the uncle gave him another brand to change.

    Later according to the salesman he said it is not meant to be use with our water. (To me it mean the soil have little buffering ability.)

    If there is not livestock advice is to change it. Don't use the mentality of trying out so go for all the cheaper things if fail at least won't hurt pocket idea. Cause if you end up addicted to keeping them you will end up investing more. Even for a simple small setup go for the more reliable one.

    Good luck.
