Each one of the blocks contain enough material when water is added to fill a 15 gallon aquarium more than 7 inches deep. It is a healthy choice for salamanders.

Been using the Eco Earth coconut fiber substrate for several years, it is reasonably priced and easy to work with

I use this in my 50 gallon and 10 gallon tanks for my Hermit Crabs. The substrate retains the needed moisture and temperature needed to keep my Hermies happy. They love digging in it and move along it with ease. It also does not stick to their shells or legs. Will keep using for many years to come!

This product works very well will animals thsat like a moist substrate.

This is perfect for my crested gecko. I just put the right amount of water in a bucket, put the brick in, and 5 minutes later the brick was soft and 3/4 of the water was gone. i broke the brick up a little, and 30 minutes later all of the water was gone and the brick turned into the perfect substrate for crested geckos. It was perfect.

The coconut substrate is cheap and it is comes in large quantities but it makes alot of mess and gets everywhere.

Once you have the actual dried product then it works about as well as dirt, albeit dirt that holds moisture well. The hassle of soaking it then drying it and having it not dry all the way and having to spread it out on a tarp to get it to dry was just not worth the hassle. The price is great and if you have the patience to get the end result then it works well, but for about the same price you can get organic dirt from general stores that works just as well. Overall I dislike how much time and effort go into getting it ready to use, but I agree that for being a cheap and easy to store substrate it isn't too bad.

I use Eco Earth as a substrate for my hermit crabs. It holds hudmidity well and the crabs love to dig in it. The only minor issue I have with it is that it compresses a lot over time, so if you put 5 inches in originally, in a few months, you'll only have 3 inches of substrate. Just be sure to plan ahead if you have a critter that needs a certain substrate depth.
