Hi, I'm almost at the point of setting up my new tank, I have bought EcoComplete,managed to get it for £17 a bag reduced from £23-probably due to the current economic climate! I was wondering if i should use some filter mulm & some of my old substrate-tropica substrate under fine gravel-which i'll sift out,under the new EcoComplete? I'm planning on using the mature filter media from my 2 existing externals & putting it into my new externals along with some new media as they're bigger,heavily planting the tank from the off & swapping all the livestock over in one go-keeping the same bioload. Will old substrate & mulm under the new stuff help considering there's supposed to be heterotrophic bacteria in the EcoComplete already? Obviously I'll be keeping to a heavy water change schedule for the first 2 months or so.
Regards
Will
