Here are the pics of it compared to Turface Pro League...

The only difference I can see right off is that the Aquariumplants.com substrate seems to have less small grains (~1mm) than the Turface. But aside from that they appear to be identical. So maybe it's Soilmaster Select instead?
Seeing this, I'm not going to bother doing any extensive testing since there's abundant information already posted on using Turface/Soilmaster as a substrate.

Great work !!! Good info.

But Hoppy is right. Now we know that if you have no way of getting Soilmaster Select or Turface through local channels you have the option of getting it from aquariumplants.com.
When you think about it, it's no different than what Greg Watson does selling dry ferts.

Actually it is, Watson is selling bulk ferts, but he isn't making the claim that their manufactured by or for him, whereas AP is claiming their's is exclusive, insinuating that you can't get it anywhere else.
Whether they mean you can't get the stuff anywhere else, or you can't get it with their label pasted on a red bucket is something they have to clarify.
I'm still waiting to see some kind of lab analysis, but I have a feeling we'll never see it, and if we do, it will be by some anonymous company which they can't reveal because of "propreitary information.
