I agree with that. After reading at another forum that a lot of people use just Red Bag kitty litter and top it with sand I tried. I mixed it in dirt and topped it with play sand. Now every time I move plants a few fish die. Now only move plants that aren't in the substrate. Plans are to dig out some of the dirt and put more dirt on top of it. Then top it with River Sand.
