A good alternative to ABG mix
I use Atlanta Botanical Garden mix for all of my tropical bioactive systems, but I thought I'd try this as an alternative. I am pleased. It retains water well without getting soggy or rotting. My plants are thriving and growing in nicely even with my big fat Mossy frogs hoppin' all over them. I will be using this in the future.
