Hey guys, do you have any experience in using the above mentioned for your shrimps? I am looking for soil for my new 2 ft setup and Benibachi Crimson Bee Soil is off my budget and I am considering other alternatives like Project, Borneowild or ADA 2. Thanks in advance!
Its said to have the following:
Designed to depict the fertile and dynamic rainforest of Borneo, BORNEOWILD PLANT SOIL creates a natural look and feel that would be appreciated by the experienced aquarist.
BORNEOWILD PLANT SOIL maintains a mild acidity close to the river system of Borneo, making it most suitable for the keeping and breeding of aquatic fauna, flora and invertebrates. The soil granules allow good circulation of water and oxygen through the substrate and supports the growth of micro-organisms, thus providing an excellent alternative biological media to the eco-system. The abundance of natural mineral content provides a rich soil system for optimal cultivation of plants and aquatic life sustenance.
BORNEOWILD PLANT SOIL is able to maintain crystal clear water by absorbing impurities and brown tannin coloration released by driftwood. It reduces the presence of ammonia, thus allow safer and faster introduction of fishes and invertebrates.

I have a tight budget unfortunately, haha..using GEX red pack currently and I think I would give ADA 2 a try, just need to cycle for a longer period of time I guess.
gex soil , i cycle 2 days with bt-9 and old filter media.ADA , think need at least 1 week even with old filter and bt-9.
