Moz Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone ever used this aquatic soil from Home Depot as substrate? DynaDirt Aquatic Planting Soil Bag https://www.homedepot.com/p/10-lb-DynaDirt-Aquatic-Planting-Soil-Bag-DynaDirt-Aquatic-Soil/206059105#overlay Good price. Thank you!

AllFishNoBrakes Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I personally would hesitate to use it as it’s 75% peat. It says it’s pH adjusted, not over time I’m not sure how that would work. Also, 10 lbs is probably way more than you would ever need. I used about 1/4” of dirt for my tank. I used Miracle Gro Organic Potting Soil for my dirted, no filter tank. Works great. Tank is over 2 years old and crushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moz Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Beautiful tank! Yeah, I also used 1" or so of organic soil with 2" of sand in my 10gal. I was curious for when I upgrade to a bigger tank. What fertilizer are you using for your plants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 1/4" dirt with a gravel cap, a Fluval nano plant light, and 2 years of patience to achieve the Pearl Weed forest that I have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
