    Maurice, you won't be sorry. But one thing, when you do switch over, use the whole substrate system. The results speak for themselves. Seriously.

    Cool.

    You have added all the additives at Yuppie's right?

    I have never in all my life seen such healthy plants like they have in their 60p :)

    Yes, the yuppie tank is the complete substrate system. I was there earlier and that is definitely one of the healthiest tanks I've set up. The plant growth in there is astonishing.

    @Slagter I will hopefully be moving over from Flourite to ADA this weekend... I have ordered the Aqua Soil and a bag of the Power Sand "special"... Does this "special" include the additives that you suggest adding or do I have to try and get hold of all these other additives as well?

    Yes, the Special includes Bacter 100 and clear super. The one thing I would recommend getting is the Tourmaline BC. This removes any toxin buildup within the substrate and keeps it healthy for longer.

    Do you perhaps have any Tourmaline BC extra? I don't know if maybe I could buy like the required amount off of you instead of buying a whole bottle?Because I don't know when I will use some of this stuff again o_O

    No, I can't help you there, but perhaps one of the shops will. I know the guys in Brazil do this, so I'm sure the stores might too?
