I’ve used Controsoil Extra Fine Black in my 20-gallon tank for three months. The plants have grown steadily without any ammonia issues. The black color blends well with the decor and the substrate feels stable under the plants.

The substrate is easy to mix into the tank and doesn’t clump. My anubias and java ferns are thriving. I appreciate that it doesn’t cause nutrient spikes, which was a concern with other substrates I tried.
