Hi AA!
2 days ago i bought eco-complete (2 small buckets) from a guy who had a planted tank. I paid $10 which i think it was a good deal, considering it has all the bacteria for a second tank i got yesterday (50g) .
Anyways, last night i put the substrate in the new tank leaving the water very cloudy and kinda murky, which is alright since it takes a few days to clear. so I went to work like any given day and when i get back...i found my soon-to-be-wife using my python, cleaning, doing water change...the whole deal. I lover her but i wanted to ...
My precious bacteria is gone for sure, but what about the substrate? is it useless now? i know you dont have to rinse eco-complete, but what happens if you do? you lose the 'bacteria' that comes with it? sorry for the newbie questions .
thx.
