eco-complete very coarse

Im glad I get to inspect my pallet before I buy. I talked to Judd months ago and was aware of this matter. Most dealers dont get to inspect orders before they buy and just sell it anyway.

This is crazy. Now I get home and one box package 1 of 1 is here with two bags. No third bag. The first thing I notice other than the obvious missing nag is white mixed in it again.

I give up!

[ColeMan]

You've got to be kidding me!

I'd call Jud right up and let him know you're dissatisfied. Just tell him to give you your money back...ridiculous...

[Gad]

He said his looking into it. If the other three are shipped I hope they are black.

It looks to me like they have someone digging this up and bagging it, then it gets shipped to Caribsea, then they just pack and ship it without checking it out. How can someone send bags with white in them when this was my complaint?

Ever watch the Keystone cops?

[ColeMan]

for sure...my dad actually "introduced" them to me one time while i was visiting. CaribSea looks about as competent!

Something similar happened to me at a restaurant one time. I had to send back a plate of chicken because it was RAW - the second time it was more RAT than the first. Needless to say I left. I didn't go back.

Update: Three bags of Eco-Complete on the way.

[Gad]

OK, I'm good. Looks very dark and small. Though there is slight bit of white in it still. Got all three bags. Thank God.

So it finally came, with only a slight bit of white...congratulations on finally receiving the product you originally intended to purchase (almost)!!

LOL I hear ya. Now I have 100 lbs of substrate in my carport. 20 of the good is going into my 20g setup I'm planning. I don't think I want to fish 60 pounds out of my acrylic aquarium. It scratches too easy.

i just got a bag, it is ok, although i did get one rock 1 inch long and .5 inch wide, oh well, i will tie some anubias to it lol

[jelisoner]

Bah!! to late for me on having the junk replaced cause I lost the reciept when I first got the bag of eco-complete and its. Mine is so bad that it has tiny bright white clam shells in the mix. I only noticed after 2 weeks of the darn thing being in my 10g. Also several large grayish and white stones. Only took half a bag to fill my 10g. I placed the other half in my 125g on just one side of the tank. Not so bad looking in my 125g since I intened to mix it with the substrate that is already in there.

I'm going to upgrade my 10g to a 15g maybe 20g. I'm not sure if I want to buy another bag of this stuff. Would it be ok to mix what is in my 10g with some other black substrate like florite black or black sand florite?

Any recommendations? Oh by the way, both are shrimp only planted tanks.

[Gad]
