Never heard of this before. What pH it can maintain? Optimum pH for crs is 6.8.

How do you arrive at the ph 6.8 is optimum?

That 's very expensive compared to ADA soil

most of the "soil" substrates are good for crs as the main purpose of them is to lower the pH cuz the crs we buy here lives in acidic conditions of ard 6.6.

ada aquasoils are not created for crs but for plants and needs to be cycled for 3weeks whereas redbeesand claims to require 3days.. both also can be used rite? so i assume this soil most probably can be used too as long as cycled enough. =)

actually it all depends on where the crs comes from.... if you take a german bred crs put in 6+ waters they might die cuz throughout their lives they have been living in 7andabove ph.
