Thank you for the heads up! I was just recently informed by another member about the salt content as well. I used a mix of cocopeat+sphagnum moss for D. Binata and they seem to love it more than pure sphagnum moss mix.

Thanks for the replies. Now I have a general idea of what to get as media. Thanks a lot!
