nope i havent used greenline but i will be this time (only becasue EA have stopped selling plants :cry: )

my subtrate in this tank is screwed up to be honest due to being sold wrong products. (mainly lfs) :roll:

any way i was sold a product which ‘is very good for a planted tank under normal stones/sand so i bought it and relised after i put it in it was normal amnky looking gravel.

so i bought another type of substrate (tetraplant) wasvery happy with it except the lfs(a different one may i add) only had one box/tub. so i bought the pure Laterite aswell. i wenrt very happy with the coverage of the pure laterite. so i decided i would order up the ‘proper’ tropica substate.

i have used this before and was amazing only reason i didnt use it first time was because i wanted to set it up that day and the only place i can get it from is mail order!

not very interesting and more than likely boring lol

substrate in plated tanks are normally nutritious for the plants root systems.

as i said tropica is probably the best you can get
