Would this be safe to use in my fish tank and put plants on it? Also does this have clay in it?

I've used this in a fish tank with live plants I did mix it with sand and the smallest grain size pea gravel I could find. I'm planning on ordering more for some other tanks I want to set up. It's much cheaper then any aquasoil on the market (although I do occasionally mix in aquasoil with it too)

Does it have copper in it?

It states on the package that it only contains Sand and Loamy Soil, nothing else that I can see. I would think copper in it would be a bad thing for Fish. That's all I can confirm. Hope it helps.

How long should a 19" x 9" tub of water with this in it take to settle and have clear water?

Put dirt in bottom cover completely with fish rocks add water slowly to not make water muddy.. it takes about a week to clear and settle if you don’t

How to keep the water clean after adding this? It still looks murky after 4 days...

I just put 2 bags of this in my pond into bags for my lilies. I followed their instructions completely. My pond is so muddy I can’t see my fish. I have run water into the pond for 2 days now to clear it up but that has not helped. It doesn’t tell you on the bag to clean it first. How do you clean dirt & clots of mud. Any suggestions would help.

Favorite pond soil

We prefer this soil for all our pond plants. Wet the container with soil before dropping it into the pond to minimize dirt floating up. During drop in there is minimal dirt coming up. Afterwards no issues and clear water. Have been using this for 5+ years. Healthy plants, pond and happy fishies!

Good but pricy

I'm moderately happy. I liked the material but not the quantity for the pricy. It's very pricy. I could not even immerse the root I this. I couldn't find this product anywhere near so bought it online. I wish it was little cheaper so I would have bought 5 bags.

great for aquarium!

If you add water slowly or top it with a different substrate it doesn't cloud the water. Easy to get out of the bag, nice soil, kind of heavy, some larger chunks of dirt and debris but overall, great!
