Substrate comparisons

[dearis]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone out there has used some of the top shelf substrates likw ADA amazonia or eco complete and has an opinion as to how worth while they are whe using them in a planted tank.

The Seachem ones are great, but read about the mineral breakdown of each one before you make your descision.
The ADA ones leach ammonia for about 3 weeks, but otherwise seem good.
Haven't tried Eco Complete yet, but from what I've heard, the bacteria that are supposed to be in it don't seem to make much of a difference.
