ADA Aquasoil

[bad_boyz]

From your experience, which type of ADA soil should I use for a planted set up? Malayan, African or Amazon. Which is better? Whats the difference between all three?

[fishfry]

I believe they are all identical, the only difference is the color...I think the color is supposed to represent that native habitat.

It would be better to use the black one.. Amazonia...

For me I think the dark colour looks more natural.

Is ADA Aquasoil better that the normal gravel n base fert?

Upz for you.

I feel that ADA aquasoil is used mainly for lowering the pH. The soil is, quite frankly, difficult to plant plants in, and there's the fact that it slowly disintegrates over time into a sort of powder.

If I were you, I'd assess whether my fish will benefit from a lower pH. If so, get ADA aquasoil. If not, get the normal base fert and gravel... much easier to plant your plants.
