Aquatic Remedies Platinum Soil Substrate for Planted Aquarium - 1 L

Quality looks good, had to rinse once to remove the dust and chemicals. Overall very satisfied with the quality of the soil.

Good quality fine aqua soil, clean & clear water after 24 hrs, used good hang on filter with bio media and good bacteria.

Soil has enough fertilizers to grow plants that are substrate feeders , i dunno how long it will last till and when i have to start using root tabs. I have below plants:- Dwarf sag Tenellus Altarenthera renicki mini All these root feeders are growing well with bright colors.

Expensive but good quality.

The delivering of the product was 3rd class, but the product itself is good. It came in good quantity and the seeds germinated within 2 days.

The soil is highlighted for shrimps. However it does not specify for which type of shrimp as there are 2 variants - caridina and neocaridina. This soil is suited specifically for caridina as it reduces the ph and kh drastically. So if you are planning to keep neocaridinas - cherry shrimps, then avoid this soil. It will kill them sooner or later.

Writing this review after several months. It seems fine when used initially . But gradually this soil starts dissolving& makes water cloudy , dirty & brown in color. Even the aquarium walls start looking muddy. And the moment you will try to clean tank, it dissolves more as you disturb the water in the tank. It becomes like powder & keeps on making water dirty. Even the white rocks became brown. Finally I removed entire soil setup.

Soil is pretty expensive for the quantity given but gets the job done. My advice would be to wait for the prices to drop during sales.
