It's reputation on this list is good enough for me to say without trying it
that it is one of the 2 or 3 top commercial substrate approaches for planted
tanks. Considering that it is used either straight, or mixed to no weaker
than 50% flourite with gravel, it is also among the simpler to use.
Condiering that the epoxy-coatedgravel your lfs sells is about $.60/lb, it
would seem that $1/lb for something that is great for your plants is a
bargain.
