Pet stores usually. Tahitian Moon Sand is a pretty good brand.

That looks like straight clay.

Lol it was dry dirt. It had soaked in water over night before those pics

I mean just the color, thats like mostly red clay. My MTS doesn't look like that even after I've mixed clay into it. Topsoil is black/greyish when dry and mineralized.

Yea that's why I stopped progress on that today and started looking for different soil

Did you mix the stuff (clay, dolomite, etc) into the dirt already? That needs to be the last step you do before putting it into the tank.

No, it is still on its way in the mail. I think I'm going to look today for new soil
