So I have been doing a lot of research on changing out substrate and was super nervious to do so because of BB that was established in my old substrate and not wanting to kill any fish...... Well a few days ago I thought I had crashed my tank just by trying to get some Danios which I actually didn't, my parameters of my water stayed very consistent and good.
So today, I decided to go to Petco and get some new substrate...... I did a two part system because I do have a planted tank.
Part 1 - About 1 Inch of Caribsea Eco-Complete Planted Aquarium Substrate Red
Part 2 - About 1 Inch of Coraline Marine Aquarium Gravel
The water was not to terrible as far as being cloudy but I do have some questions:
1. I did turn my fluval 406 on to clear the water, should I clean the filter in a few days? My next scheduled cleaning on the filter will be middle of December if not
2. Has anyone used the eco-complete planted substrate red? what is your feedback? did I apply each substrate right?
3. What are your overall thoughts of the posted before and after photos?
