Eco complete substrate just bought a 10 gallon tank and was wondering if i should use eco complete as a substrate for my planted tank.
Eco complete carpet plant.
Could any one suggest an easy fast growing carpet plant for my tank i am using eco complete sub and i have about 2 wpg wiht co2 but the tank is quiet deep being a oska 260l i have failed with hc and at the moment im trying hair grass its been in there about 2 months now and it hasent rely done a lot the hair grass has started to grow runners how long will it take to carpet i am thicking of.
I m not sure about sand but the hc eventually had a good grip on the eco complete substrate.
I m using eco complete in my 20long.
It establishes a natural biological balance which makes cycling a new aquarium faster and safer.
I d recommended never capping w sand unless your using dirt.
Outside of aquariums this plant is almost always found in nitrogen rich human inhabited locations.
I ve grown jungle val and a few other low tech plants in my old aquarium only using gravel and ferts.
When you inevitably want to switch plants around it s going to be a huge pain.
This eco complete fish tank rock gravel comes in a range of large and small grain gravel sizes that makes for a porous foundation for plants which stimulates for healthy root growth and optimal bacterial efficiency.
The first time you open the eco complete substrate bag you ll notice that the substrate is damp.
It s out of control in a good way.
Actually i used eco complete to carpet hc.
Although it s often grown above the surface it is seen frequently underwater due to weight.
Aquarium conditions that mimic humid subtropical environments are usually perfect for this carpet plant.
It has more than 30 useful trace elements minerals and nutrients.
Eco complete has highly porous spherical grains for optimum diffusion performance and contains live heterotrophic bacteria to rapidly convert fish waste into natural food for your aquatic plants.
I would suggest doing a dry start method because my hc kept floating away when i planted it in a filled tank and it was very frustrating.
It holds small medium and tall plants well.
Unlike most synthetic aquarium rocks caribsea eco complete contains a live heterotrophic bacteria which is beneficial for sustaining a healthy aquatic environment as it helps to convert organic waste into a natural plant food.
