Eco Complete Substrate Review. Is Eco Complete planted substrate worth it. I tested this planted tank substrate for a couple months and have questions. Does the substrate need lots of time to harbor bacteria? Why are my plants growing at the rate they are in this substrate.
I’m not trying to totally badmouth this planted Tanks Substrate but it just didn’t do well for me. I think I’ve gotten so used to using super nutrient rich substrates and using something like this is just lackluster for my plants. I think the main issue with the substrate is that it needs a lot of time to grow that bacteria in the porous lava rock and I’m just not really looking to wait all that time just so I can grow plants. I can use other competitor substrates and get results immediately.

I am sort of disappointed in this product and I don’t think I’ll be working with this again. The only instance I can see myself working with it is maybe in a Cichlid aquarium where I can’t use other substrates because the fish will screw with it. But other than that that’s my review on this product.
Moving towards the future with planted Tanks a Substrate in my household I’m mainly going to be using organic potting soil. It’s probably the cheapest Substrate with the best results when it comes to aquarium plants. I can get a 20 pound bag of the stuff for like 3 to 4 dollars.
What I do is I layer the bottom 2 to 3 inches of the aquarium in potting soil. And then I put black blasting sand on top of that soil add about a 1 to 2 inch thickness. That potting soil really brings a lot of nutrients to those route Feeding and Plants. I’ve been having tremendous luck with these mixtures of products and it’s super cheap.
A lot of people are afraid to use potting soil in their fish tanks but I’m gonna do a video on it soon and try to simplify it to the best of my ability. Because I’m having tremendous results Growing Aquarium Plants with the substrates.
