Yes you can, and it feels like dirt when you crush it. Here is a picture of ADA soil. It is also available in a darker color than I own, but I have never personally seen, or purchased the darker stuff.With the ada soil, can you crush it into a fine powder with your fingers? I'm trying to figure out if it is a good or bad thing that I can do this.
looks a bitlike ada soil, except larger
I just set up the tank, so I am not quite sure if the plants like it yet. However, it got the water super dusty even after a good rinsing; I just had to give it time to settle.what did you do with the rest of it?? are your plants liking it? We have only used that eco complete.
