I agree as well and Ian and most folks would say the same having used a number of sediments.

Perhaps the entire line is lifestyle choice etc, however, one good product that works well and is reasonable vs the other products is not a bad option by any means.

If you honestly believe soil, you ought to be using plain sand, soil and kitty litter.

Kitty litter is Clay, peat is also cheap.

Both have long histories of use.
I've used all of these and about 2 dozen other concoctions. ADA AS is pretty good for the $ and does very well for growing plants.
That's what I use for my personal tanks if that gives you any indication and I can afford pretty much anything I want and can make.

If you are cheap, you may as well go all the way and use plain sand and soil/Kitty litter.

Tom Barr
