    I am going to set up a 4ft x 1.5ft x 2ft tank.

    Could the experts here advice me on which soil is good and where is the best place to get it?

    Thank you.

    Any budget?

    Maybe I tell you what I used for my cost cutting base fert combination:

    1. Aquatic Compost
    2. JBL Aquabasis
    3. Bioplast Terraminerals
    4. Oceanfree Root Monster (loose form)
    Cheers!!

    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Thanks for the info.

    Just to double check on my understanding:
    Bottom layer: base soil mixed with fert (like Root Monster), 1" to 4" thick depending on the type of plant.
    Top layer: 1" or 1.5" of course sand (gravel)

    Is the above correct?

    The soil probably last 1 to 2 years, does that mean I have to rescape the tank at least in 2 years time?
