the amount of aquasoil needed would be 148.49 including 36.00 for ups ground shipping for a 75 gallon tank. this is only a underlayment for nutrients so you don't have to dose the tank anymore and have awesome results. I think that most people that want to do this already understand that they have to cap it off. The majority of the hobbiest that want to do this.. already know that. the just add water was a joke
The amount of people here wanting to do this and having a hard time with finding the right soil and other supplies might find it easier to just buy a kit instead of the hassle of doing it themselves. Do you have to still dose ferts when using ADA? you don't have to do that with this option. so the daily regiment isn't needed here.
