Its been a bit over month using calcium sulphate instead of the damn "clay breaker".. quite embarrassing that was to be honest.
Still a few filamentous diatoms hanging about, which I'm really sick of actually, but it's not as bad as it was.
My ludwigia super red continuously loses its bottom leaves and struggle to grow. I never had an issue with this plant using ADA soil.
I'm not sure if I should have attempted the inert substrate, being somewhat newer to the hobby, or perhaps I'm just impatient.
It's been about 6 months since I swapped to inert substrate. I've seen 'some' improvement in plant growth, but still having issues, like the diatoms and several species just not doing too well.
Do I just need to wait for the substrate to mature further?
