Hi all,
I have a 20 long tank I want to turn into a planted aquarium, and I have been considering substrates. I've been hearing a lot about this Eco-complete, and was wondering if I need to also get root tabs or some other type of bed-conditioning nutrients with this stuff. I am planning on buying all I need to get started at once, and wondered if I need to add Root Tabs too. I was also plannin on getting Flourish as well as Excell to go along with it too. Any thoughts?

Oh, and any idea how much I need to fill say 2" for a 20 long? They cmoe in 20 pound bags, and I was thinking 2 bags. Sound right?

Thanks!
