Hassles

About 18 months ago I set-up a 1200x500x500 with Eco Complete and heavily panted it out to the point where vacuuming is not possible over ther bulk of the aquarium bed. Discus have since been housed Discus in this tank and they have no trouble feeding from the substrate. A school of 8 dwarf loaches work as a clean-up crew. No fertilisation of any kind is added and I never have nitrates. A Red Sea substrate heating system is also employed and I believe this assist drawing the fish feaces down into the substrate where it may be utilised by the plants. Yeah, I like Eco.

take care
