    then it is not normal, been using ADA soil for many scape never experience it become white. Is it the New ADA Amazonia? Because I never try the new Amazonia before.

    ok. before this i read this thread with my phone so i cant see the pictures properly.
    now that i'm using computer to view the pictures, i can 90% confirm that it is not of any ada soil.
    Mod shadow can double confirm with me that its neither of ada I or II, while i can confirm that its not ada new amazonia as i have a pack laying in my room now.
    reason being the shape of the soil bits are too circular in shape compared to any ada soil.
    you better check back with the seller.
    cheers

    The white coating may be a bacterial slime.

    Could it be a layer of old mud sea powder underneath the ADA1 soil?

    100% not ADA Amazonia. I used ADA Amazonia 1 for 2-3 years. The grain consistency did not change at all from Amazonia 1 to Amazonia 2.
