The type of peat I am talking about won't leech anything or color the
water at all. It is filtered and cleaned and is mostly used as an anchor
for the plants. The nutrients from the plant gravel gets trapped within
it and the roots grow at a maddening rate. Peet also has that great way
of filtering and processing toxins from the water which cuts down on the
water changes and adds some diversity to a tank that most lack. A decent
anchor for plants


Where do you get it? I've often used AP Plant Plugs - they're fertilized
rockwool. Non-leaching peat sounds even better.



A local pet shop near where I live Pet City...I doubt you'll find it easily
as it isn't always available to them even. I wouldn't even be able to tell
you the name of it since I first planted my tank last April. Sorry.
