I always wonder if Amano has taken the allelochemical approach (to reduce algae) combined with nutritious soil that maintains macro equilibrium with water at very low mg/L concentrations.

I FULLY understand the benefit of it leeching ammonia in the beginning, it lets you start a brand new tank outright and get it cycling, while provide the best nitrogen source for your new scape.

What we need is someone to send a chem grad student, with access to a GC/MS machine, samples of the ADA fert line, so we can understand if it's more the ferts or more the soil.
