I'm considering building out my next tank as follows and need some advice on substrate and tank mates:
75 gallon Marineland glass tank
Plethora of Corys, BN Pleco, Bolivian Ram, undecided on other fish/inverts atm... advice?
Medium/high light with 36" Current usa planted+ LED
Driftwood and larger rock pieces for decent caves
Medium/high light plants and co2 injection
4 stage cannister with possible inline uv
1. If I use eco complete and then cap off with sand, how deep should the eco be and how much of a cap should I use?
2. What's a good heavier sand to use for the cap so it doesn't get sucked into the cannister during maintenance?
3. Do I plant first then cap or should I plant after the cap is in place?
4. May seem silly question, but how long does the eco complete provide nutrients? Does it get depleted after months, years and need to be replaced?
5. Are root tabs necessary with eco complete and Fourish dosing?
Thanks for any advice given. This will be my largest build yet and I want to do it right the first time so I have as little substrate disturbance as possible during maintenance.
