Thanks for all the comments.
Yes indeed that is soilmaster select for substrate. You can get a better look at it in my blog. I'll post some more info there when I get it. I'm toying with the idea of angelfish but I'm not sure. The tank is viewable from both sides and the end. I need a ton of plants in there but all will come in time.
The soilmaster dropped the PH from 8.0 to 7.0 less than 6 hours after the fill and down to 6.8 after 24 hours... something to keep in mind. I'll let you know what happens after I do a 50% PWC.
