I saw some people recommending a layer of Peat Moss under ADA aqua Soil and I'm wondering the reason for this.

ADA Aqua Soil already lowering the pH, so why would I add Peat Moss when it will lower pH further ?

I've seen this setup when making multi-layered substrate. Its in replacement of ADA power sand. ADA recommends adding a layer of power sand below aqua soil. Cheaper alternative is to add a layer of pumice and peat moss under aqua soil. This helps keep the water flow in your substrate better prolonging the life of your substrate.
