Would this be safe to use in my fish tank and put plants on it? Also does this have clay in it?

I've used this in a fish tank with live plants I did mix it with sand and the smallest grain size pea gravel I could find. I'm planning on ordering more for some other tanks I want to set up. It's much cheaper then any aquasoil on the market (although I do occasionally mix in aquasoil with it too)

Does it have copper in it?

It states on the package that it only contains Sand and Loamy Soil, nothing else that I can see. I would think copper in it would be a bad thing for Fish. That's all I can confirm. Hope it helps.

How long should a 19" x 9" tub of water with this in it take to settle and have clear water?

Put dirt in bottom cover completely with fish rocks add water slowly to not make water muddy.. it takes about a week to clear and settle if you don’t

How to keep the water clean after adding this? It still looks murky after 4 days...

I just put 2 bags of this in my pond into bags for my lilies. I followed their instructions completely. My pond is so muddy I can’t see my fish. I have run water into the pond for 2 days now to clear it up but that has not helped. It doesn’t tell you on the bag to clean it first. How do you clean dirt & clots of mud. Any suggestions would help.

Best substrate!

My favorite substrate for planted aquariums, my aquatic plants grow great with this as a base layer!

Works great

Great for pond plants. Still some cloudy water, but pretty tame overall.

Expensive for the volume but good quality.

The soil is exactly as advertised. My only qualm is that I found it exceptionally difficult to guess how much I needed based on it being sold in cubic inches. As a result I was a bit astonished at how small these bags are, especially for the price. So for those having the same issue, I say this, the volume is roughly that of a two gallon jug of milk. I personally think it's more of a $15-$18 value based on volume. I struggled to see the value in $25 for these bags. But if money isn't a concern then it's a great product as advertised.
