Hi, first post in this forum, thought I start with a dumb one!
Can you use Eco-complete or other plant substrates under sand?
I have a 64l tank with aquatic pond compost capped with sand, its been running a few months now and is doing fine. I've ordered a 350l tank and want to use sand again but I'm think I should maybe get some proper substrate for longevity.
Initially I was thinking about building a valley/mountainous aquascape but have come round to the idea that something like that would be a nightmare to maintain. So I'm thinking of keeping it simple with the plants in the back and corners with some sort of feature in the middle. Fish-wise I'm going for tetra's and other small community fish. I live in a hard water area which suits them.
I going for easy plants, java fern/moss Anubis, jungle val, and if that goes ok I'll 'branch' out..
Will also be doing co2 and dosing..
