Aquarium Advice Addict
Well I know that epoxy gravel is about the worst thing I can have in my aquariums but what is the best short of Eco-complete or similar substrate for plants? Sand has a really good base that the plants can take hold of and take root in. Natural gravel is smaller and better than other gravel for plants because they at least hold some nutrients. Sand has problems because of the dead spots and needs more maintenance. Natural gravel is still going to need to be vaccumed and chance the plants being uprooted. Then there is the question of breeding in the planted tank and what is best for breeding my C. trilineatus but also best for my plants?
I have time before I get ready to set up my breeder and planted tanks so any informaiton now will make it much easier then. Will also help me get ready to remove my undergravel filters and switch to something a little better for my plants.
Please help me figure out what best to do as I am really confused reading all the different posts about gravel, sand, eco-complete and everything else.
