Just curious how well this stuff is with plants (the finner S grade). Even though its expensive, and not really local (but might be able to put a group buy together to pay for the gas) its still cheaper than tahitian moon sand. And other than those two I havent been able to find another suitable black substrate.

I might just go with pool filter sand and save some money, but I really like the look of black substrate (especially since the tank is already painted black too). As Tom has stated in my other posts my original idea of Aqua Soil Amazonia isnt going to work with active bottom dwellers like clown loaches. So I am just entertaining the thought of ColorQuartz. Looking for some opinions...
