I have a question about Eco-Complete that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

Can this be used instead of using gravel as the top layer? The gravel that I have in both of my current tanks is a bit difficult to find so would it be okay to use Eco-Complete to put over the soil layer instead of plain gravel? I just want to know if this would be okay to do for the next time I go to set up another tank.

The Eco-Complete should work fine as a soil cover.

That's good to know in case I can't find the gravel that I have in my other tanks.

Thanks.

Same here. My tap water has a pH of 7.0 but my tank with Eco-complete is 7.4. I've tested the other hardscape in my tank and nothing had an effect on pH except for the driftwood which lowered it.
