Substrate


My $13 tank needed substrate. I read about a lot of options and decided that eco-complete was the substrate I would use. Only one place in the area sold it, so I picked up a 20# bag as we left on an vacation to Missouri.

Note: Plant substrate is a fertilizer and in summer heat, in the back of a pickup truck it will heat up and sweat....

I put the substrate into the tank and added gravel over the top of it...then I waited.

About 2 days later, I couldn't wait. I got some bulbs again and dumped them in the tank. From the picture you can see that they started sprouting nicely.
