Used Aqua Preta in my 75-gallon tank with a peat and compost mix. The roots seem healthier and more vibrant after two months. No signs of algae or nutrient burn. It feels like the tank is breathing better.

After adding the supplement to my garden soil mix, my planted tank has shown stronger root development. The substrate feels more stable and the plants are thriving without extra fertilizers.
David Johnston –
Works well with my existing soil mix. The roots are more established and the tank feels more balanced. A little slow to see results, but consistent over time.

Switched from synthetic fertilizers to Aqua Preta and noticed a difference in plant health. No chemical smell, and the substrate stays moist and active.
