mr troph Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 I guess the Aqua Soil is good. This is my first planted tank so I have nothing to compare it with. I also suprised at they growth with the two Gro-lux they were meant to be temporary as I orderd 2 T5s but im still waiting apparently there coming from Germany. Also considering getting some ferts, any suggestions? Thanks Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
