I want to re-scape my 110-litre tank and replace the existing substrate with something more robust.
I would like to rebuild the tank so that fish can return home in the shortest time possible. If I use a buffered substrate I understand there can be risks of large ammonia spites initially. Also, the pH could bottom out, it did this when I set up my shrimp tank but I gave this 5 weeks before introducing livestock.
I have considered getting another tank but this has proved difficult and expensive.
The only substrate I can find reading the forums that may meet my needs of Eco-Complete but I understand this lacks NPK. Is there another substrate I could get that would meet my needs. I would like a carpet and using Crypts mainly.
