setting up new freshwater/live plant 29 gal tank using eco-complete substrate,do I top it off with regular gravel before I plant my plants?
Thank-you. Did you first cycle your aquarium before you planted ? Do you have live plants?Radcliffe said:I don't think you need to, no. I have it in my 29 gallon and it has been just wonderful. Both my fish and plants seem to like it

Oh, we could yes. However, for tanks with a lot of plants and more delicate ones, a substrate meant for plants will give them better texture for the roots, etc. I want a lot of plant life in my 29 gallon, so I am using the eco-complete. For the other tanks I am using plain black gravel and fewer, more hearty plants.mojoman101 said:could you not just plant them in standard gravel?
