So I'm completely redoing my 20g tank and going to make it a RCS tank. I've read alot of thread and articles and I have a general idea of what I'm going to do.
My 20g tank was my first fish tank but now I have a 55 and I'm pretty content with it. Just need a few more fish and it will be done. The problem I had with my 20g before is that it always had high nitrates (80-100) and I could never figure out why. I had some plants, didn't over feed, weekly water changes. Though it never seemed to do anything to my fish Im afraid it could kill the RCS I'm going to get.
My question is...I got eco complete for my SS but 20lbs might not be enough and I don't want to order more so I was contemplating if I should just put it onto my already existing black gravel SS? I almost feel like I should chunk it because it always had bad nitrates and I'm not sure if it could SS can keep nitrates? Idk lol
Button inside tank is between a nickel and quarter size so you can get an idea of gravels size.
Opinions?
