That's why I mixed mine with Estes black reef sand. It holds the plants in better. With just Ecocomplete, my plants tend to be more easily uprooted by my naughty fish. However, the larger pieces do hold lots of beneficial bacteria. The fact that Ecocomplete is porous really helps with the good bacteria.
