Hi Tom,
Trying to remember back, but I think Dupla does have a distributor
in the U.S., but not under the Dupla name. Essentially, this is iron rich
clay that's sold at extremely high costs. From talking with other aquatic
plant growers, they've had just as good success with clay purchased from
pottery making stores (up in Canada, from the Pottery Barn). However, I
haven't used it in Neps (and neither have they) so I'm not completely sure
well it would work.
If you're interested, let me know and I'll send along an e-mail of
a guy who would know how comparable it is, plus possible sources in your
area.
Chris
