Seachem/Aquavitro Aquasolum Soil


Anaeflurane

Recommended Posts

 

NEW PRODUCT ALERT!! Introducing aquasolum from aquavitro! aquasolum black humate is the perfect substrate for planted and shrimp aquariums. It is a clean, clay-based substrate that supports pH stability from neutral to slightly acid levels – the preferred levels of most planted or shrimp aquariums. It will not cloud or discolor water and actually, can aid in water clarity in many cases.

aquasolum’s non-compacting shape and porous structure allows for plant roots to grow easily and vigorously throughout it. For hatchling and very young shrimp, aquasolum provides secure hiding from predation of larger shrimp and fish.

Be on the lookout for aquasolum at your local fish store which will be hitting shelves soon!


Looks like Seachem wants some of our dirty dirty money :D

I really like seachem's products and this has just become available in South Africa so I'm thinking of getting some but I'd like some opinions first..

Thanks in advance..:cool:

Might be a while before I can review it, I have a goldfish in the tank I'll be using for my shrimp/plants now, so I have to get it's pond sorted first before I can convert the tank to shrimp/plants.

Ideally I'd have liked some info on the aquasolum before the conversion, to help my decision in purchasing it or not..

OK, so I bought 2 bags of it in preparation for the tank conversion, it's Seachem, at the very least it must be ok I guess.

Sometime in the future when I set up the tank with the Aquasolum in it I will do a review of it..

Anyone had already experience with this substrate?

When searching for some information about this substrate, I reached information that it is supposed to contain a lot of Iron, Calcium, Manganese, Nitrogen and Phosphorus - which plants will most likely love, but what about shrimp ?

I have seen these at my lfs, same bag for $20 us dollars. Haven't tried them yet, but i would love to hear someone's feedback about this substrate. I also saw Dennerle shrimp king substrate, which i think is new, because theres no reviews on it yet.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
