Cheap alternative to ADA aquasoil Cheap semi soft enriched clay Barr Substrates. Molasses added to encourage growth of bacteria and mychorrhizal fungi. Cost relative to "MPV Turface", doing an ADA soil vs this product presently. Various grain sizes also(Dark black brown color) appears very much like ADA aqua soil except 10X cheaper (and much cheaper than Onyx/Flourite etc). Various nutrient content options also. Available late Oct.
Still running the test, but it looks just like the ADA stuff and is soft clay like material and comes in various nutrient contents and grain sizing.
I've never really liked suggesting Flourite or other expensive substrates to folks, I still wish this stuff was heavier, but it's not too bad I suppose once you get use to it.
I have 2 tanks ea with ADA Amazonia and with my Barr substrate(BS for short -haha, but the material is no joke).
