Red Clay(Iron for your Roots!!)
We sell Red Clay by the pound. You can add one pound of red clay to any planted tank substrate. One pound is enough for a 20 gallon aquarium. Ever tank is different, but if you want a general rule of green thumb, one pound per 20 gallons of water is a good amount. The clay is red and contains high amounts of Iron which is what your plants love. Plants absorb 40 to 400 times more iron through their roots. Pair this with our Alternathera Reineckii "Variegated" to see the full effect of this Clay!
By adding clay to your planted tank. You are feeding your plants where they are eating. You can see in my many videos how the roots grow toward the clay. Get your plants some clay, even if you aren't ready to convert to dirt, this way you can start to see the power that feeding your plants at their roots provides. Don't believe yet that plants LOVE CLAY? Check out how the roots of my plants grow into it in this video...

This was such a great buy, I had no idea you could add clay to your subsrtaight and my plants keep dieing with liquid fertilizer and root tabs so I'm hoping this is going to help me.
Good quality
I haven’t used it yet but it arrived as advertised and on time.
Got it yesterday well packaged and insulated, liked the picked selections of plants they look good in my 55gal and I used the iron red clay in the substrate to feed the plants. Pics will come soon after the cloudiness clears and settles in tank. Thanks for making my fish and me happy, thank you all at Dustin’s
I was curious to try this clay as we have 4 planted tanks. I added them in addition to the arrival of some new plants. So far things are looking good. I made marble sized balls and stuck them down until I felt the bottom of the tank. Many others pointed out it may cloud your water. I’m excited to see the difference this clay makes.
