Yes, I am using the Canadian kind you get for the garden.  I have been using
garden type peat for many years now with great success.  I found the Jiffy
kind to way to expensive, especially when you want to cover the entire
bottom of a tank  The only negative thing is that you have to boil the
garden variety and that really stinks, literally.

Bye,

Adam
