I didn't have a problem with plant melt either when I added ADA Aquasoil to my 10 gallon. It did become cloudy and I did a lot of water changes so that's probably why the plants did not melt.

I seriously wonder what the heck is going on...
Personally, I think it has to do with the general "Fear" of going up against certain brands and having the loyal "Wolf-pack" come out to chew Your ankles off. I just went through my first experience with ADA AS and it was a disaster. Plain and Simple. From what I can gather to date--hard water--compounds the effects.......
