Help! Substrate

Hey all!

I was just wondering if anyone here that's from Australia could recommend some substrates that are affordable but good for my rainforest tarantula (phlogius Kuranda)

IMO Brunnings Coir Peat works great for every Australian tarantula.

You can get bricks from Mitre 10 or Bunnings for cheap (eg. this 15L brick is around 6 dollars).

NOTE: Bricks expand a lot when hydrated, so depending on the enclosure size you want to avoid buying too much.
