I'd appreciate any suggestion/ideas on the following substrate I intend to use:
1/2 inch grinned gravel (1 m"m)
1 in sphagnum peat moss
5 cups of humus spread equally on the peat layer
1/2 in grinned gravel (1 m"m)
This covers the anoxic layer of the substrate.
The peat's advantages in lower substrate's ph, low redox etc and the humus's advantages of the organic material in the substrate creates a long lasting nutrient storehouse
The 2nd layer is comprised of 2.5-3 in of fine inert gravel (3 m"m) - would be the aerobic layer of the substrate.
I'd appreciate any assistance on that, remarks, suggestions etc.
Thanks.
