How does one even fail using tropica plants lol. All joke's aside thanks for the great content

I love Tropica Aquarium Plants

[@ericplunder2744]

Oh wow! Since the only aquarium retailer that specialized in aquascaping in Melbourne that i knew of closed I thought my chances of setting up a good aquarium were nil. But then I saw the insert of " find a dealer" in this video and saw the tiny lone marker in Melbourne. I looked up the Tropica site and got a link to a place here. They sell many of the brands George talks about elsewhere, as well as Tropica, of course. If only I could find a decent plant supplier. Baby steps. Better start saving!

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Hi Eric. We're glad the website served you well, thank you for sharing your story! Plant wise...one day, one day...

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

cheers nice

[@henny6608]

Great video :) how could it be that you use the brown fertilizer and not the green one?

[@Rosebud2503]

Hi. Can I use the soil underneath gravel because I like to create height at the back of the tank. Thanks.

[@michaelgill1032]

Is there any reason why my water us constantly looking dirty when using tropica soil. Its like a black film in the water column

[@netanelshimonov2651]

Will this series also work for fluval chi 5 gallon?

[@FishForLife2104]

You mention fertilizer. When to start adding them in?

[@druvak]

I had a sand substrate - beautiful but inert. I inserted fertilizer balls, but still my plants languished. In addition I had HUGE brown algae problems. In desperation I switched to Tropica aquarium soil. My plants have never looked better. The water is crystal clear. This is an amazing substrate. My Amazon swords which were basically just melting are lush and green. I didn't need any layers or anything. I'm a believer. For the curious - I didn't have a tank to keep my fish in while my new substrate balanced out, so after I switched from sand to Tropica soil I simply added some quick start solution. This added beneficial bacteria immediately. I only had 4 celestial pearl danios, and they seemed OK. A week later one of them died, but I don't know why. I waited another week, and the remaining 3 seemed completely OK. I saw hints of some brown algae, so I added 2 otos and 5 Amano shrimp. The otos devoured the algae immediately. The shrimp just chill on my filter sponge and do nothing. But the tank and the soil look incredible.

[@premjasonx6373]

Will oxygen will circulate under the soil if we are using direct soil without base like power sand like product.....please guide me sir

[@SaathveekRaju]

Which one is The Best Soil ? ADA Amazonia Ver-2 or TROPICA ???

[@davidbrown3083]

Hi, I am thinking of changing from sand to tropica soil in my 125lt tank, when I put soil in, plants, decor etc and water, can I put my fish in straight away

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Hi David. When you change the chemistry of the tank it's always a good idea to wait until it balances before you introduce fish to the mix.

[@fleurb770]

@@TropicaAquariumPlants i’m about to do a similar thing, how long do i have to wait until i can put my fish back into the aquarium as they are likely going to be in a large bucket in the meantime, is this going to be a matter of days or hours?

[@MusicForFuckx3]

My problem is all retrailers nearby have dirty plant sell tanks with snails and planaria. They never have the plants i want in 1-2 grow cups because of that I must buy everything online

[@theycallmetheboss]

you can just put water in back compartment

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Hi, if done so it will unfortunately move the soil next to the intake.

[@georgeantonopoulos9012]

I have a question. Do I put tropical soil first and on top of that I must put another substrate or I just put the soil as it is?

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Hi. The soil can be used independently tropica.com/en/plant-care/aquarium-soil/aquarium-soil/

[@paullb2440]

Glue a rock to the bottom of the wood instead.

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

That's a good idea! might make use of it later.

Need help want to set up my flex 15 for my betta with a group of Pygmy Corydoras what’s plants would go good with them ?

Sir how to get tropica plants in india

Does tropica soil leach ammonia in water?.

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Hi Shaon. Tropica soil is safe for both animals and plants, it shouldn't leak any ammonia in the water. tropica.com/en/plant-care/aquarium-soil/aquarium-soil/

[@shaonpurkait8839]

Just one thing...if I'm using tropica soil can I add fish, shrimp from day 1 of the tank??

[@mz-hd5xm]

Can i cap this with sand ?

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

There's no need to top Aquarium Soil with sand. However, if you want to have another layer on top, you can use Tropica Substrate as the bottom layer and place sand, gravel, ect. on top.

[@juli8vdberg562]

I ve been buying and using much plants, but came to discover that only Tropica plants are the ones that do well and are no waste of time, money and energy

[@vampgaia]

Who named the plant 53B? And why? LOL!
