Hi all, first time post, thanks in advance for your guidance.
I have a high tech planted discus tank with flourite black sand capping mineralized topsoil. Because of my dark substrate, which I love the look of and the plants thrive in, my discus are dark. This is a known phenomenon and not the point of this post.
My idea to fix this problem is to cap my current cap with eco complete red. I like the look of the red and have it on another planted tank, and figure its biologically active so there is less of a chance of messing with my cycle. I have about .75 inches of mts and about the same of flourite black sand. I would add about a half inch of eco complete. I figure the black sand would stay put under the eco complete in the same way mts does (as long as i don't rearrange plants).
Any flaws with my logic? Anything concerns I am missing?
Thanks!
