They are all dwarfs.

The Shultz is good for planted tanks. It is the same stuff as Turface (Both manufactured by Profile) or Soilmaster. However, Soilmaster and Turface come in a gray color versus the reddish-orange of Shultz. Turface gray was very difficult for us to find here in Ohio. We needed to order it by the pallet (2,000lbs) in order to get anyone to ship it to us. Using Lesco, you should be able to order it by the 50lb bag.

If you have a local Plant/Fish club nearby you can try making a group order with them for the Soilmaster. We saved $3 a bag by ordering 1,000lbs of Soilmaster.

I had two 55g tanks with a mix of Shultz, Flourite, and Florbase and they did really well. Each tank had four 2x ODNO 6700K lamps over it. I only have one of those 55g tanks now.
