Whats the price ?

 

cant really remember how much i paid think it was like 400 or 450 for 7kg's

 

R330 from Pet masters

 

thanks

 

at Panorama its +-R300 - cant remember exactly

 

ok thanks Henk, thinking of putting a layer of this under the sand top layer.

 

try palmfiber peat soaked in Chemicalt - R25 a block and works amazingly

 

Thanks for the input Henk when i am around to going to buy the stuff i will drop you a call of were to get everything

 

the palmfiber peat blocks you will get at any big garden center - ditto for the chemicult. i am using 3 block of the fiber peat on my 2.5 so 1 should do for what ever you have planned...

soak the block in a bucket or water with 1 table spoon checmicult in the water - the blocks expand into a peat fiber

 

ok , gonna use it in my 1.2 that will go up after the lounge renovations are finished, how long does this last ? or will i have to add checmicult to the water after water changes and vacuums ?

 

no no - the chemicult gets absorbed by the fiber - it should last for a very long time - aslong as you add some of dirks drops to the water

Remeber to cap all plant substrates

 

ok - i have never had a planted tank so what to do a semi planted tank - everything but CO2 --
explaining capping pls

 

capping means you put sand (normally pool filter sand or river sand) ontop of the feeding substrate to prevent leaching which leads to algea....

sorry if my posts dont make sence - i got flu and a seriously high fever

 

ok understand completely what you are saying will be capping either with Black or White sand i have a bucket of both ... you are making more than enough sense

Hope you feel better soon

 

What is Chemicult?

 

its a hydroponic nutrient powder

 

see
found @ Pick & Pay for approxR50

 

Not suitable for aquarium use buddy

 

It actually works pretty well in fish tanks if you soak the peat in it.....

 

Henk, could you possibly give us a link or two to sites where this substrate has been used?
I am quite interested in finding out more about it.
Thanks.
