Aquatic Plant Soil - Home Depot

[Ltrepeter2000]

On my visit to the store here in Atlanta I found that the Home Depot is selling 10 lb bags of the product listed above. It appears to be a gray/brown substrate made primarily for plants in ponds. It is a soil based baked to ceramic and turned into substrate so I was wondering if anyone had seen it and tested it out. It claims to be fish safe. Just curious since I had never seen this product before. Its color is more attractive to me than fluorite so I may try a bag in a small tank when I get home.

Looking for feedback.

Thanks

Is it Schultz aquatic plant soil? I've heard of this, and I think a couple GWAPA members have tried it, but I don't remember who exactly. Mark maybe?

Schultz is a light color, like soil master red or fluorite I thought. If thats what it is then yes I believe that it works, some say that it is very light though

I have Shutlz Aquatic Plant Soil from HD in many tanks. Works well for me.

OTH, I have plain gravel in a 55, and that works well, but I'd go with Shultz if setting up another tank.

Ok I didnt check the manufacturer so I will check that tonight. Probably is the same stuff. Works out nicely for those of us up many flights of stairs since its in 10 lb bags. Makes trips easier. I think I will be giving it a try when I get home.
