    Eco complete info.

    glad the link was usefull. just a tip though if you are removing fish then is possible totally empty the tank of water before adding ecocomplete, it does not need washing as it is prepacked in blackwater. this does not mean it's nice and clean. i added it straight to a full tank and it took...

    Eco complete info.

    if you look closley £6 for one bag and £2 extra for each additional bag. cost me £123.88 total for 6 bags including postage. i ordered last friday, no sign of it yet i'll let you know when it turns up. provided they haven't done a runner or sell substandard stock it looks like a good deal.

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    Thanks peter. i thought of that but really want one layer as with all my fiddling about changing scapes any layered substrate would get mixed up quite quickly. I have decided now on ecocomplete 6 bags ordered for 2/3 of the tank. the other 1/3 will be play sand substrate split side by side not...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    arrived today. it came with the new "high-lites" T5's one nature and one daytube (4100K & 9000K). it depends where they order from as i'm sure wholesalers will clear old stock before supplying the new spec tanks. i got mine from http://www.pet-supermarket.co.uk/. when i asked this question...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    just tried to order and the ebay store cant tell me which lighting they have and cannot get any 450's for a few weeks. tough life they just lost a £600 sale. now onto pet-supermarket to order as we speak. they get them direct from juwel out to the customer so cant tell me anything about the...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    sorry to keep you hanging guys, the verdict is vision 450 100%. rio 400 got a major thumbs down from the misses. i'm quite pleased as the vision does have twice the light, 4 tubes as opposed to 2 in the rio. and loads of room to play with. andy - thanks for the fluval pic. personally i still...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    sorry guys, running late so have to be brief. staining - not a major concern as i will have a massive lump of driftwood in there anyway so will have to deal with that some how. i doubt the AS will be relevant when compared to the wood leaching tannins. i love the look of jeremys new tank...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    thanks for the detailed input guys, I do appreciate the picture but i have to say i have similar growth in my current tank with gravel/laterite it's so hard to decide as i think all dedicated plant substrates will produce growth, how do you determine the quality of one over the other as all our...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    just looked at the juwel site and it seems both come with the same lights, it doesn't mention the second set on the vision. maybe i'm wrong there. i think i'd better get down the LFS and investigate. it's hard to know without actually looking at it in front of you. on the bow topic ignoring...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    sorry missed you two, it took me an hour to post the last reply while i searched eco complete lol. Dave - thanks for the clarification on colour. that definatly rules aquasoil out then. i definatly want black not dark brown. as to the bowfront i do have that one reservation as you do. the...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    :lol: where else can you get advice on this stuff at midnight i love this place lol. Thanks james. if you follow the link in the first post you will see the AE page. clisk the "larger picture" and it shows the bag. it looks pretty black to me but it may look different under aquariom lights...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    oops. thanks for the relocation zig i realised that just after i posted and was about to ask for it to be moved here. thanks for your thoughts. hmm, you know what i'm like, the plan i have for the layout will surely be overhauled in 6 months or so when i get bored with it and my current...

    need advice on substrate for new tank

    Hi People, i am very close to getting my rio400 or vision450 (still undecided well the misses is i know i want the 450 but she has a thing about bowed glass!) in short it will be packed full of cardinals with little else. i definatly want black, fine substrate and dont want to use laterite...
