ADA Aquasoil

I am planning to start a 2ft without CO2. Need advise on the type and amount of aquasoil. It would probably also be good to know how much I should be expecting to pay and where I can find it at a reasonable price.

Ada soil is sold in 3L and 9L packs, i used a 9L pack for my 2 feet for economy reason:- bigger packs are cheaper.

Prices are quite standard,+-3 dollars across lfs. It very much down to convinience more than cost to me. Where do you stay?

For 2ft tank you need around 9l

I stay around Serangoon. Not sure if Green Chapter stocks them. Looking at getting a GEX Glassterior so would be great if I can get them both at the same place.

Serangoon can get from pet mart

For reasonable price you can get it at pasir ris farm way 2 L35 if you happen to stay nearby

I see on the Green Machine website that they top up their substrate with a fine version of the aqua soil. Is this step necessary or should I just use the substrate at their normal size?

It's optional. It does make it easier to plant some foreground plants.

Alternatively I think you can get Borneo Wild from Green Chapter also, saw it over the weekend.
