Bored of my unnaturally coloured gravel. What is a good natural looking substrate which is beneficial for plants?
Is Eco-complete any good?
Is Eco-complete any good?
i was thinking of having a plant substrate with sand on top is this possible?Pool filter sand, Black Diamond blasting sand, Miracle Grow organic all work well. You can also get bagged soil/substrate just for planted aquariums.
I have Ecocomplete capped with black diamond blasting sand. Best of both worlds.
Just FYI - that blasting sand is like $8 for 50 pounds if that helps any. Good luck!
Would an aquarium with black blasting sand and a black background look good?
is eco-complete black?I love the dark substrate. Plants look great in it.
is eco-complete black?
The Easter Island Head has been in all my tanks as they began for good luck..
I think the the DHG and DBT will require pressurized CO2 and pretty decent lighting.This month I will be changing to eco complete. I'm already using root tabs, liquid fertiliser and liquid co2. I just need to find out my lighting. Because I don't know
Then I will be stocking with rooting plants. Thinking of a carpet of baby dwarf tears in the front behind that a carpet of dwarf hair grass the two carpets will be separated by the two small pieces of bogwood along the sides of the tank a collection of crypts and as background plants elodea dense on the right and anacharis on left.
Any advice would be appreciated.
