SMS has a high CEC, so will absorb ferts over time as you dose them, so that's a plus.

Your 50lb bag should get ya a long ways!! lol
I'm hoping that the SMS will help bring down the PH and hardness, using peat sounds like a good option.

I planned to use this in a shrimp tank so I won't be using ferts.

CEC, TMS? Clueless

ROAK, S&S lol
