I've decided to pull my gravel out, and replace it with sandbasting 
grit, after finding out my gravel is causing my pH to raise to 7.6. 
Bad!

Any suggestions on a laterite I should us.  I could spend lots of 
money on dupla, but with having a 135 gallon tank this would cost 
alot. Bad!

I've heard of using "red art clay", vermiliate (sp?), peat?, and a 
half dozen other combinations.  What do you use, has it worked for 
you, and what would you recommend.  I am willing to spend the money 
for dupla's laterite if it is far superior to any other option.

Let me know.  Thanks in advance-  Matt
