Im guessing Theres a chance the liquid in the bag will evaporate and once dry the bacteria in the substrate will die. I would wait. One of the drawbacks of Eco complete IMO that you dont get the time to play with your hard/dry scape.
Hi Ark,
I think it depends Which MA you shop at .... My local stocks Eco complete, Tropica, JBL, FLora base and Colombo!!
I think most are stocking JBL (which Ive had good results with)
They should be able to order you in any of the above!
Thought I would just stop by and let you all know that despite the intial KH issues I now have a thriving tank. The plants look great against the dark Eco complete substrate So im a happy chappy at last. You can see the results in my journal 'The Cube' link in sig.
As for equivelant substrates...

This is annoying I think ive got the new stuff!
typical !! Ive used Jbl And red sea product in the past and thought i'd see what all the fuss was about with Eco complete. trust me to try it now there are issues.
Ive still got the outer boxes that it it...
I just bought some for a new aquascape and was suprised at the grain size!!
First time ive seen it though so I dont really know what im looking at.
You got me worried now. :(
