With other aquarium soils, it is common to experience algae spikes during the initial month or two of a new set up.

Although the ammonia helps to cycle the tank, too much can cause problems so it is necessary for users to do daily water changes during the first few weeks of use until the planted tank is established. However, many users have reported success with using Controsoil and adding shrimp or fish within 24 hours of a new set up, but we always recommend cycling the tank first and making sure ammonia and nitrites are at 0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much soil do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength x Width x Desired Substrate Height (in inches)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDivided by 60\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e= Liters of soil needed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eNormal\u003c\/span\u003e Granules\u003c\/strong\u003e ~ \u003cstrong\u003e5mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood for larger tanks (20 gallons or above) with larger plants. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFine\u003c\/span\u003e Granules\u003c\/strong\u003e ~ \u003cstrong\u003e3mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for smaller planted tanks (less than 20 gallons).
