Thinking about revamping my tank. The tank is a 90 gal aga and has only been set up one month. I purchased red flint stone because I had a major credit at a lfs for items traded in when I dismantled a reef tank. They didn't have eco-complete, but suggested laterite mixture with the red flint.
Now I am reading more and more about eco complete or plain flourite. Why, why, why didn't I discover eco complete prior to the initial setup? I have a 3" substrate mixture of laterite and red flint stone. I'm thinking about removing the red flint and putting it in my watergarden this spring and adding eco complete in it's place. Am I nuts for doing this or should I just add more laterite and flourite? I like the looks of the red flint, but from what I've read the eco complete sounds very rewarding.
Can I get the same results of eco complete, but adding more laterite or fourite to my existing substrate?
I know this is my decision to make, but advice would be helpful. I would remove the old substrate and add the new and have it set back up within a day.
Not much livestock at the moment so now would be the time to do it if I decide too.
2 adult killies ( found a baby in the tank today, surprise)
7 ottos
