Setting up my first aquarium here and being a 125 gal I'm asking lots of advice before I commit all this $ to it. Been researching substrates and I've settled on possibly doing a bottom layer of ADA Amazonia of an inch or so, followed by about an inch of Eco-Complete for planted aquariums black (3-6mm), and then topped off with Eco-Complete for planted aquariums black sand. I wrote CaribSea with some questions about the Eco-Complete for planted and they said they're fazing out the sand version and anything left in the distribution system is all that's left.
So my question is...I happened to find some but it's online and I'll have to pay for shipping. I was wanting to cap with sand b/c I've heard some complaints that the 3-6mm version of the Eco-Complete for planted gives some plants a little trouble rooting. Is the Eco-Complete sand I've found a good enough product to go ahead and snatch up? Or are there other similar nutrient filled sand products out there that would be just as good?
Thanks!
