[QUOTE="Phil, post: 147585, member: 4151"] we have a similar mix in the UK called Spider earth (I think). personally, I never touch anything with soil or peat and can't see how sand is anyway beneficial. My personal view...its all about making money. Coco fibre is natural, ph neutral and sustainable (unlike peat), holds moisture if it needs to which is very rare as humidity is over rated (let's not go there though! LOL) is light and easy to clean/swap out and is very cheap! I buy 50 litre bags for about £16 ($20ish). and that can fill hundreds of tanks. as my US friends like to say.. "you do the maths" :) Personal choice at the end of the day and having tried many substrates over the 30+years of keeping Ts, Coco fibre is my #1 choice. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
