ADA Amazonia I, rich on nutrient. It may cause cloudy water during initial setup but plant love it.

It depends on your budget. ADA is if you have deep pocket or else GEX is already rather good!

GEX cost 30 plus for 8-9kg but ADA you need to buy the soil, power sand and the combi set sold in mizu webs.. can be about 150 for a 2ft tank mah.

If GEX cost 30+ then it is about the same as ADA soil 30+ less than 35.

No need, ADA soil by itself is fertile. Power sand and those additive useful if you want to keep for long term, say more than 2 years scape or maybe more.

I see I see... but so far most of the people here will tend to buy the hold solution to ADA...

Yup, I saw it the last time.

Best is to call first and check for stock, before going down.

**diazman** · 19th Feb 2009, 23:23

okay.sure. the eight star aquarium looks only like its a good shop but sadly doesnt sell that much..

**footballe** · 20th Feb 2009, 01:52

think C328 currently without ADA Amazonia I and Powersand. But best to call and check as their stocks move quite fast

**Madmax** · 20th Feb 2009, 07:44

Bought a 8kg pack Gex soil for shrimps from C328 1 week ago for mid $30+. Both green and red packets were available.

**diazman** · 20th Feb 2009, 23:39
