JBL Manado Soil still affects water parameter

JBL Manado tank

JBL Manado tank

Just a quick shot I have taken of my 12L tank where I used JBL Manado as soil. I really like this gravel but although I rinsed it over 24 hours it still raised the GH and electric conductivity. Since I am still cycling my new tank without shrimps, that’s no problem. I guess after some larger water changes the parameter will not be affected anymore.
