Mineralized Soil - Options

[Tyger]

Sounds very interesting. I look forward to hearing about the substitute, the testing, and the results.

I might have a $4.99 a bag substitute for the mineralization process and clay addition. I just have to push it through a test or two.

Wow! More Temptation!

I've been doing some rearranging and the GWAPA belem has gone nuts in my MTS which was done "by the book." Roots were waaaay down deep actually longer than the sprig of grass poking up. I couldn't believe how much of the stuff I ripped out.

I knew I was taking a chance with all the plants I've purchased that some would turn out to be not what I want. That's one thing I've looked forward to: trying lots of different stuff to see what I really like.

Belem just went crazy and stitched the whole tank surface.

Now the stauro has open field running.

Thanks to Sean and Aaron for the MTS guides!

I found out later the "belem" was actually GWAPA hairgrass rather than belem.

It still grew like crazy under low light conditions.

Have you posted about this substitute yet? I am searching your site and have just seen this. Maybe you have posted it, but I have not seen it yet. Thanks

The garden center stopped carrying it

What was it, if I could ask?

[SCMurphy]

Aquatic plant soil from the Ayers company in PA. I tried going direct.
