Hi,
I'm thinking about switching my goldies over to the 55 gallon (currently in 29 gallon). So this would be my oppertunity to add some stuff to the substrate
currently have 3 goldies (so non heated aquarium if that matters)
regular 1-3mm size natural gravel
standard plant gro flourescent - 17 watts
no ferts - just big goldie poop!!
I have valisernia - growing like crazy, sword doing ok, and java fern mass doing pretty good
so the question is should I put some flourite or eco complete as my first layer to really help out the plants when I switch over and if so which one is better.
or considering the plants are currently doing ok will either of these really make a difference since its such a low tech aquarium, or would I be wasting my money?
also will either of these have any affects on the goldies ie will they eat it, or get it caught in their mouths when foraging
thanks
