Oliver Knott's NatureSoil...

Looks like there's a new substrate on the market in Europe from the great aquascaper Oliver Knott. I just happened to stumble upon it.

Has anyone heard anything about this? Looks super expensive with the Euro->Dollar conversion. Seems pretty similar to Aquasoil to me.

Looks like repackaged Aquasoil. It says its a Japanese product. I can't believe the picture on the front of the bag. I never saw a price. He's a fun guy.

It looks like he's doing an informercial. Subtrate-wow, you'll be saying wow every time!

It does look like an infomercial! Either way, I'd guess with Oliver's name on the front of the bag, that we'll hear more about it before long. He is a fun guy...

4-5 mm for "normal size"; it definately has a larger particle size than Aquasoil.

It would be interesting to set up an Aquasoil tank and a Naturesoil tank with the same plants and lighting and compare products.

I also noticed he does NOT have a line of dosing products and the use instructions recommend a 15 % water change every 3 days after set up for the first month. It must have awefully high fertility levels.

Using pelletized fertilizer as a substrate! What a concept!

Cheers.

I noticed yesterday that ADA is still a sponsor of his web page. It will be interesting to see if that disappears in the future.

Is 4-5mm about the same size as Flora Base?
