Reading other strings on soil subs, they placed it in a layer then capped. Do I understand correctly you mixed it throughout?
Yes sir, I mixed it as adviced by Torpedobarb. He said that he did it on his new tank to help plants' roots get faster to the "good stuff" and since it make sense to me I did it as well. I ended up with about 1 and 1/2 inch of soil-cq mix. But there is more soil than CQ in it.
I'd like to hear about issues with mixing fluorite with cq or capping cq with fluorite sand- how does it look and will it work?
