I put black onyx sand UNDER eco complete as my substrate.....I know...FAIL......so what now?
My idea is to take everything out of the tank, and of course as I do this the sand and the eco complete will mix. I COULD try not mix them if it would be beneficial to use them separate when im redoing it. Everyone is saying to use organic soil on the bottom. What do I buy? I cant afford aqua soil, or ada. BUT what potting soil can be used? Brands? prep for the soil before it goes into the tank? ALSO, do I cover the soil completely with the sand and eco complete? Or do I gently cap it leaving soil exposed before adding water? I was thinking if I didnt cover it completely with sand/eco that it would float, or cause the water to be really murky. Yall please help me, I already effed it up, and I have never done dirt before, so please in LAYMANS terms.
