I watched every video I could find on YouTube and read every forum post and like you mentioned the end result was inconclusive. Some said they could see a drop in nitrates where most said it had no negligible effect. As a media it's perfectly adequate but I was hoping to see what Seachem claims.
Thank you. Getting the tank to where it is right now has taken some effort on my part but has certainly been a satisfying experience. I added 80 pounds of fine aragonite sand to the substrate recently and have 60 more pounds I plan to add in the near future. Trying to get to a more natural look of sandy bottom with the larger pebbles interspersed.I'm not really a cichlid guy...and haven't kept any African cichlids for probably 20 years...and generally don't go for light-coloured backgrounds...but that is a terrific tank! Frontosas are one of the very few Africans which have tempted me over the years; beautiful fish.
Yes, I still plan on putting the Benthochromis horii in there. Still waiting for my import license though.
