Has anyone heard of this substrate or have any experience with it themselves ? I am unable to get my hands on any Eco-Complete but the LFS said that this stuff worked really well. This is what the web says about it:
Volcanit is a pH-neutral aquarium gravel of volcanic origin developed specifically for use in modern live-plant aquaria. The fine pore structure of this structure encourages bacterial activity that enhances the biological release of nutrients from within the gravel. The results are superb plant growth. Volcanit is mixed with 10% ferrolit, a natural long term iron fertilizer derived from Laterite. The resultant black and red colors enhance the beauty of the aquarium plants and the hues of the tenant fish.
It looks like it has a derivative of Laterite mixed in with it (about 10% by weight i am assuming). Is this enough for a densly planted tank ?
I have relatively high pH (7.6) so i dont want anything that is going to raise this value.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks :icon_smil
