1. DeponitMix
DeponitMix works and is safe for plants not bad. Unfortunately, this stuff does not look so great. Actually, no problem, but the mix is also quite easy, which means that over time every now and then something comes up. Not by itself, but by the 3rd or 4th Mulmabsaugen the gravel is sprinkled with the Deponit what does not look so great. For the Deponit can not really. Since many also get along well without Deponit, the question is whether you really need that stuff. However, without the use of the supplied Deponit gravel lot is clearly too small to form an attractive ground course. Then 1-2 additional gravel bags are attached.
2.Nano gravel
The supplied gravel looks really not bad: Sulawesi black. There is a gravel kunsstoffummantelten who takes no effect on the water levels. Unfortunately for my taste is the grain a bit too small and the gravel slightly. When Mulmsaugen lands always tidy gravel in the bucket, which you then have to back and gives away the basins. Despite nano gravel cleaner. The small grain it creates just yet by the protective screen. Due to its light weight of the gravel swirls on pretty strong, but that is for the cleaning of advantage. A disadvantage here only that even the Deponit is conveyed over time up and mixed with the gravel.
The supplied technology itself works well. The filter is almost inaudible and bright enough lamp.
The Care and the sample bag lining are quite useful if you have no reason inventory. Meanwhile, I am but switched to the water care products from JBL, because the price / performance ratio is better off, and the quality at least as good.
In conclusion, I would only buy in the future the Complete version, and choose a different ground. Who already operates another freshwater aquarium, is best supplied with Cube and supplied equipment.
A complete beginner who still has no Aquaristikzubehör is, with the Nano Cube Complete Plus first safe at the start.
However, one should be aware that some other accessories is still required. Since then has not always obsessively Dennerle draufstehen because just the small stuff goes pretty with this manufacturer in the money. As a little critical thinking is in demand when shopping. One example is called the water test, which costs between 4-5, but only contains 5 test strips. The JBL Easy Test 6in1 contains 50 test strips and costs about 15 whether the test then 30 cents per application or will cost almost one euro is already worth considering.
From me there is so 4 stars because you should optimize for gravel and DeponitMix at the grain still in my eyes, to enhance the practicality.
