Eco complete info.

Here's Jim's journal where he used EC. Ignore the cloudiness, just add the EC BEFORE the water!

Thanks, it looks rather nice.

My plans are to do a similar re-do of my tank but after looking at the photos would drain everything out before.

How quickly after adding everything can I put fish back in?

I would think fish could go back in almost straight away, the cloudiness is nothing to worry out. Just keep an eye of the NH3 and NO2 levels for the next few days, but with a mature filter these shouldn't be a problem either.

When I did a rescape in my main tank I use EC and put the fish back in the same day, no problems.

Thanks, sounds like something I'll get then.

I have a Juwel Vision 180, so how much of the stuff do I need?

Thats about 3 bags of the stuff then.

I have just put eco complete into my RIO 180. I would recommend 4 bags, maybe 5 if you wanted a high banking effect front/back.

I got it from here and the price worked out the best as there is a postage discount for more than 1 bag.
