Alright.... My tank I dont really consider NPT, but pretty close, I used soil as a base layer, then some aragonite, and finally gravel on top of it all.... anyway, MY TANK FLOURISHES! I would highly recommend to everyone that wants to start a planted tank..... honestly, its crazy how much growth Ive had in 2-3 weeks.... INSANE!
Its not just the growth, but plants seem to multiple more.... for example, all my ludiwiga trimmings I put in there are branchin out to become like 3 different stems.... And, I barely have any lights... just runnin watever cheap florecent light that comes with a 20gal. I will post some pictures for the disbelivers, but wow! I feel like a gardening ninja masta! <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/suspect.gif" style="width: 15;height: 14" alt="" />

got mine from fred meyer..... "cory" wrote a whole thing on NPT, in the diary section... think he has pictures of the soil he used.... using soil is like the whole Natural planted tank tech by dr walsted (think thats her name)... except I use filters, c02, and water changes... where as the NPT tech, doesnt.
