smaller bags of eco-complete?

[James_in_MN]

I have a 20g high tank with one 20 lb bag of eco-complete in it, and now realize that I could probably stand to put around another 5-10 lbs of the substrate in it. The problem is, they seem to only come in 20 lb bags.

Has anyone seen something smaller than 20 lbs for eco-complete? Or, if not, is there something else I could substitute instead that's about as good as that product that would look almost exactly like it?

Mix in some sand. You can get small bags.

Wouldn't hurt to get extra sand! Used my extra on new tank

Hmmm.

I guess I could get some black sand (actually, I already have some from PetCo), but I'm not sure how well it would blend in with the eco-complete.

I guess one option would be to split a bag with someone else, if I knew someone in the area that could use 10 lbs of the stuff.

When I was doing a tank, I bought the last two bags of Fluorite Black available at my LFS. It didn't quite get as deep as I wanted it to do, so I used some TMS to get the depth I wanted. I have regretted it since then. Sand can be a real pain in the butt sometimes.
