Plant in Pot, Fertilizer, safe?

[deranged chipmunk]

I have been using peat moss in my planted aquariums for a decade and never had an issue. Of course I routinely planned on replacing the dirt every 3 years. But that's just me. Of the 4 "good" substrates you listed, only 2 have nutrients in them, laterite (which is essentially clay, high in iron), and Aqua soil, which in my opinion, is over priced and has a ridiculous cycling time that includes ludicrous ammonia spikes. Eco-complete and fluorite, I have used both. They are both made from the same material, ground up pumice. Totally inert. They are good for CEC due to their grain size, but they have no nutrients in them. That is presumed that you are fertilizing the water column.
