My lfs just went out of business 10 min. before I got there. HARD TIMES HERE IN MICHIGAN. It was the only one carring peat from Fluval. I havnt found on any web site that I checked today. Does anyone know of a site that sells it? thanks uli

FWIW, I've been using the spaghnum peat you buy at Home Depot. You can place it in those filter bags you can pick up at Petsmart.

LIke someone else already said you can buy peat moss at Home Depot and use it. The make I buy is Lambert. It's getting harder to find the peat granules that companies like Fluval were offering. The wholesale cost of those German granules has more than tripled.

Hey Paul,

Brings down PH, softens water and turns the tank water a nice tan color. Many wild caught discus are kept in these types of conditions.

peat can be bought at home depot or gardening store,..I used to keep a gauze bag filled with peat in my R/O bucket..the discus love it...it's similar to blackwater extract.:)

Hi, you can buy Fluval peat from VI pets, the closest one to you is Division by 68th. Forgot the price but about $13.50 a box. Which store went out of business in Kalamazoo?
