2020年5月27日 · Eco-Complete has a very low CEC, it wasn't a mistake in terms of growing plants, just an expensive substrate when more sand could have done the job just as well. Eco-Complete will grow plants just fine, it's just down to preference of it's physical characteristics vs sands or other gravels.

2017年6月1日 · I'm looking for a high tech substrate for a heavily planted tank. Co2, ferts, ect. I'm mainly looking at eco complete, but I'm not sure if carpet plants will stay rooted. Would it help if I pulled out the bigger rocks and crushed them? Are there any other high tech substrates ASIDE FROM AQUASOIL that would work? Don't say dirted either.

2009年12月22日 · The Flourite bag come in a 15lb bag and the Eco-Complete comes in a 20lbs bag I believe. There is only a $5 difference though so I don't really care. I also tend to like Seachem products for fertilizing so I'm at odds with myself, but might be leaning toward Eco-Complete. Anything else I should know about using this type of substrate?

2017年6月15日 · I dose ferts regularly and understand that Flourite is inert, but it was my understanding Eco-Complete already contained macro- and micronutrients: "Contains major and minor trace elements to nourish aquarium plants" is what it states on the Amazon page and the packaging itself states that it is made from a volcanic clay that contains essential minerals …

2017年11月26日 · Eco complete did not effect my ph at all, one of the reasons I chose it. I have 15 tanks, about 10 are eco complete. As mentioned above, no need to rinse it, very little clouding (with filters on will clear within 24hrs) compared to some other substrates. You still need to use root tabs with it. It is a high CEC substrate, meaning it will ...

2019年8月16日 · On my few eco complete tanks I run it for the plants (or because they used to be planted tanks). Plant a small plant in it and find that little plant has gone all Little Shop of Horrors overnight. I haven't tried a dirted tank but eco complete grows plants like no ones business.

2017年12月29日 · Eco complete... I have it in 7 tanks...(about 15 bags if not more) no issues. I have it in 7 tanks...(about 15 bags if not more) no issues. Doesn’t mean there aren’t any, I remember some posts on here about beautiful tanks that had issues... likely there was an issue with contamination, not specifically from the substrate itself.

2007年5月13日 · I had eco in my planted tank and switched it out for aqua flora planted substrate. The eco will ware down the corys barbles. Most of my corys are flat faced except for the pygmys and a hig emerald. The eco is course lava rock and is not find in texture. I would try and get the aqua flora if you want a planted substrate that is cory friendly.

2018年10月18日 · The time is approaching when I will be transferring my Cories out of quarantine and into my 20 high. However, the 20 high currently has Eco Complete as the substrate. I already purchased sand (more like minI gravel) and plan on mixing it with the Eco Complete to "soften" things up. Has anyone...

2013年10月26日 · 1). Do not rinse Eco complete or Flourite--that's just getting rid of nutrients you paid for. 2). Put Eco complete or Flourite into a clean, empty tank. 3). Put a small plate level with the new substrate and add water through an air line. I like to put a fish net to keep the line aimed at the middle of the plate. 4).
