Why aquarium soil so expensive ? Can i use normal soil instead?

[Xiaozhuang]

I use garden soil in all my tanks - great growth at a low cost. Just buy the plain $2 bags from garden shops, not the ones with fancy logos/added fertilizers. I've tried 3 different brands/types, they all work quite well



Probably the best value for money substrate out there

How much soil you get with $2?

The bag you see above, about 5 -7 bags for a 3ft with 5 inch slope at the back

The bag picture is not showing up on my phone but the pricing is attractive. Thanks for the info. Will keep this in mind for my next tank setup.

At this pricing, it is more expensive than ADA soil
