Questions
Will shrimp work with this substrate? I see the red bag is for shrimp, just wondering if this one will be an issue.
Does this substrate leach Phosphates like CaribSea Eco Complete Black Planted Substrate? That stuff created a nightmare of green slime algae in my new FW 75g. (I’ve professionally kept fish tanks for decades. At one point I had twin 145-g RR Oceanic’s.)
How much should I use for a 10 gallon planted tank?
Is this good to use for Leopard Geckos?? As it is a loose substrate I worry about buying it; can it cause impaction like other loose substrates?
- I wouldn’t recommend this for a gecko enclosure

- I’ve put this one under the gravel with no issues.
