Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi all,
I am headed into the world of plants, I ordered some Eco complete to replace my cheap gravel substrate and expect it to arrive the day after Christmas. I won't be planting right away, because I am waiting for a replacement set of legs for a use T5 fixture I bought.
Should I wait to change the substrate until I am ready to plant, or go ahead and do it when it arrives? What changes to my aquarium should I watch for? I am hoping to avoid a mini cycle, but I am expecting it anyway.
Also does anyone have advice in what a good procedure would be for making the change? It's a standard 55 gal aquarium.
