So, ADA Amazonia is no longer available due to scarce raw materials. I have been looking for it for a few months. I don't know if it will go away forever or what...but...I'm wondering what I should use instead. Here's my situation: I'm currently running an Eheim 2217 filter on my 17-gallon...

Hello, I bought Bags of ADA Amazonia Aquasoil 9Ltrs bags from 2 vendors. Double checked that these were Standard packages and no Light or Amazonia 2. When i put them in the aquarium yesterday, i noticed both were of slightly different colours. One was more blackish and the other was sort of...

So I dove into the high tech tank for the first time, going from a 125 gallon low tech dirted tank ( did well with most plants I had but super messy and kind of a pain). So I added two high lights, CO2 injection with a NilcocG reactor to help dissolve most CO2 into the water. My only issue here...

Does anyone know if it's legal to bring aquasoil in a checked bag on a plane? For domestic flight within USA, I'm moving to another state soon and would like to set up a tank at the new place. There are no stores nearby the new place that sells aquasoil and I have a bunch left over from previous...

Hi All, My first post on this forum. Is there any potential for an in-tank sump filter like this for a low-tech planted tank? It has holes drilled all along the surface and consists of a thick foam layer acting as mechanical and biological filtration. A small pump at the bottom. Water...

For my birthday I was lucky enough to receive an ADA 60f and the kit to go along with it. I'll be putting a lot of my savings into this project too. For hardscape, I'm using 11kg of Frodo Stone Tank: ADA 60f Substrate: ADA Aquasoil Powder Type (3L and 9L bag) Lava Rock underneath Lighting...

I'm gonna be starting a new setup with ADA aquasoil (a lot of it) and remineralised RODI water. I'm interested to know any experience you guys have with it as I am currently kinda confused. I know that the soil basically removes all KH from the water and I have read that adding KH can cause the...

Setting up a 40 long. 16 inches in height. My main focus with this tank is a large lawn of Monte carlo.... Full carpet(hopefully) High tech. C02 injection. Ada aqua soil, liquid ferts, dry start. I'm in between: Ray 2 Finnex planted plus Which light for my intentions, please!!!! Thanks much...

Hello, I am in the process of restarting my 50 gallon planted aquarium. I purchased 2 9 liter bags of aqua soil and some sand for the non-planted area. I know some people use power sand under the aqua soil but it is very expensive and I was hoping to use an inert lava rock in pantyhose...

So I've had my tank for about 3 years now and the setup has been very basic. Tank is 130L. The brand is Aquaone, I bought the whole package which came with the tank, light, HOB filter, heater and stand. Since then I got another HOB filter (Aquaclear). The substrate is Peat moss with white sand...

Let me know what you have. Located in 90019.

My next project is going to be a high tech 27 gallon cube. I'm planning on a dirt substrate capped with something, either BDBS or extra fine Contrasoil. I've grown glosso for several years in Seachem Flourite (regular stuff, not the sand) with ok results, but I usually have trouble getting it...

This is my first tank journal. I finally got some time today to post it so I will be back dating the process. I will be using the Dry Start Method (DSM) Equipment: Tank = Aquatop High Clarity Glass 12G Long (HCA-12G) --- Mr Aqua seems to be the most popular of this type of tanks, I don't know...

Welcome to my Journal of my ADA 60P Setup! This journal will be chronicling my jungle style ADA 60P. I will try and upload everything I do and show people what i have done and what I learnt from this setup! My aim is to make my journal detailed so that others can get help from it if needed...

Hey all, I am looking to buy a bag of Amazonia in Orange County. I can't seem to find any stores that carry it, so if someone has a bag or knows somewhere I could get it locally, it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Gentlemen, New to the forum, and as a beginner aquarist been reading a lot of good stuff in this website. Anyways, let me introduce my Juwel 180L tank. Got some ADA Aquasoil in it and a few plants (not sure that I got enough to make life easier for me). So far, I'm on day 5 and reading...

I found amazon is not currently selling Controsoil as the had in the past. They now only have it from external sellers at $150+ per bag! I haven't found it available anywhere else and the website Controsoil doesn't appear to be functional. Was controsoil discontinued?

This past weekend I did a full rescape of my 10 gallon betta tank. I replaced my Eco-complete substrate with ADA Aquasoil which I built up to a small hill (~ 4-5" high) in one of the back corners, supported by some vertical pieces of rock. Unfortunately one of the rocks shifted during planting...

So Im on the verge of changing out my substrate in a couple tanks from blasting sand to ADA AS. Got a couple of questions... The tanks I will be changing are a 75 gal, a 29 and a 20. All high light, co2, EI, etc, and I do have a tendency to uproot/move things around a lot. I understand AS...

Hey all! Looking at substrate options for a 45p and I keep coming back to AS Amazonia. Is there anything that would be better suited to a tank of my size? More importantly, roughly how many L's should I order? I'm not planning on creating any huge hills or mountains. I'm looking at creating...
