My Polly has been in Fluval stratum in a non draining vessel for almost a month now, hasn’t dropped any leaves since the transfer from soil… and now she is giving me a new leaf!!! Without dropping any of her current ones!!!! I think I’m in love with Fluval stratum… let’s hope it’s a leaf and not a flower…. This is the first new growth only have had her since Christmas.
Now you have me deep diving on fluval stratum! Lol gorgeous!!
1 mi piace So my first and only mistake, was going to petco or petsmart to get it… by me it’s 38$ for a 8lb bag…. I went with my friend to a small aquarium shop for some coral, and they had a 8lb bag for 26$… check your local aquarium shops first.. its used for aquatic plants so most will have it

0 Mi piace So I trying it out as long term, the guy at the aquarium shop said that the stratum is good for about a year before needing to be rinsed and used again. But if it gets thick algae build up he did recommend just switching it out
