AZOO substrate

Orlando · 11-05-2009, 01:42 AM

Substrates are not the same, nor will they ever be.

New ownership and facilities all around for the last several years for Azoo. There is no rebranding being done with any of there product

My contacts over at Azoo have restructured the whole freshwater and saltwater departments and Im sure if this was the case I would know.

So that Red Sea has the exact same decor, filters, aquariums, lights, etc in their product line as Azoo is just a pure coincidence?

Though it's very possible I'm completely misusing the word "rebrand" here.

No coincidence, not even remotely close

What do you mean?

Te formulas of the substrates are different, I'm sure.

I certainly wouldn't rule out that the new Azoo substrate and Flora Base are different, but since Azoo does make some of Red Sea's products, I was saying that at some point, both companies sold the exact same substrate. When you look at the product, as well as the description, it's the same:

http://www.redseafish.com/Prod237.asp
http://www.aquaticeco.com/subcategor...lant-Substrate

Both made from volcanic ash-based soil, both remove cloudiness from the water, keep the pH between 6.5 and 7.0, comes in a 12lb bag, etc. It's possible while Azoo moved onto a new product, Red Sea is still ordering the older substrate from them (or just had a huge stock of it), so that they're different now, but in the past, they were the same.

Orlando,

Since the info about the substrate was 6 years old. How long does the substrate last now?
