I'm considering adding a school of loaches to my 55 gallon. My concern is my substrate. I'm using Eco-complete. Is this fine enough for the loaches. I would like for them to help turn the substrate. At the front of my tank where the water column meets the substrate essentially there is quite a lot of algae that I can't get to with the algae scrubber. I was hoping the loaches will help with that problem.
Also how often are you out there with planted tanks dosing fertilizers? I'm using Seachem Flourish, Excel, and Iron. I was dosing the "carbon" daily but it seems to have made the algae worse. So now I'm consider running CO2 rather than the liquid carbon.
