Eco-Complete Question!

is eco complete a sand or gravel or something in between?
 
hey nolapete how long did it take for your eco-complete to filter out everything? Im hoping not to much longer so i can finish fixing it up and then start cycling it...

eco-complete is defiantly a mix between big gravel looking particles to very small particles, i purchased it for my plants because of all the benefitical stuff it contains and it looks very natural!
 
I haven't had any issues with Eco-Complete Planted clouding...so thats weird. This was a new tank set-up right? How does the tank look now? When the Eco-Complete was in the bag did the liquid look milky or anything? Because I remember at one point Carib-Sea had a manufacturing issue and pumped out a bunch of bad bags...

Also Eco-Complete comes in a couple different forms: Planted Black, Planted Red, Cichlid Gravel, Cichlid Ivory Coat, and Cichlid Sand.
 
did you wash the gravel???
 
I have the same problem.

I added the eco-complete yesterday, and everytime i try to arrange the plants, the tanks become cloudy. :( bummer

I am new to this hobby
 
I used about 2 bags of Eco-Complete on my 29 gallon tank...Unsightly larged rocks/pebbles so I sifted it out until the small grains remained. And I just dumped both bags into the 29 gallon. It did not cloud but settled pretty quickly. Also Eco-Complete actually has live beneficial bacteria.
