Works well but definetly releases ammonia! Read more

Great size for the money and the consistency of the granule size is just perfect! Read more

The best aqua soil there is. I bought 3 bags for my OASE scaperline 90cm tank. Used all 3 to create a slope to the back for depth in my aquascape. Having the rest of the ADA substrate system would be nice but I just used crushed lava rock in media bags and then put Amazonia over it. Having the root tabs is nice because it still gives lots of nutrients but its a smaller release of nutrients all at once. Compared to the previous version of Amazonia I would say this has less nutrients but also causes way less issues with algae and if needed can be recharged with root tabs. I definitely prefer V2 vs V1 Amazonia. It is a little pricey but compared to other products it is much better and substrate is the foundation of your aquascape so I think it is worth spending the extra $$ Read more

My plants picked up immediately after I poured the whole 9 liters of this stuff over the existing inert substrate in a 75G tank. The crypts in it were stunted and other plants were not super happy either. After adding this stuff, the crypts melted a few old leaves but immediately started new leaf growth and quite fast too. All plants began to look better and the moderate brown algae bloom in the tank disappeared on its own in the process. It did lower the tank PH some in the beginning, but not excessively. It dropped from 6.5 to 6.1. Then it gradually recovered to where it was before in a month or so. I poured it in after a light rinse (if you press hard on the granules, they crumble into dust). It did not cause any clouding in the water column. Given this was an established planted tank, there was no ammonia or nitrite spike at all. There was a slight nitrate increase from 5 to 15ppm, which was easy to revert with a few water changes. I had underestimated the significance of a good substrate and I wish I tried adding soil sooner. It would have saved me some struggle with growing plants. Read more
