They are just matching Petco price I think
BTW Petco 17.6lb for $25.52 looks slicker if you need that much soil.

I bought the 8.8 pound bag from Amazon, before the sale, it's really dirty stuff. My tank is 20 gallons. I put a 2 inch coarse sand cap over it. That's another 20 pounds. The sand tends to fall through the fluval with the overall look a combination of black fluval and light sand. Messy looking.
My plants, helped by root tabs, are doing well.

If I was starting over, I would use just sand, and skip stem plants. I've glued on Anubis and Java fern to driftwood. They feed through the water column, not the roots. They look great.
