TYPICAL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

Installation instructions:  We recommend that you rinse the substrate once before installing.  Before filling your aquarium with water, place a piece of cardboard or plastic on top of the substrate to deflect the water as you pour it in.  This will prevent the water from churning the substrate and clouding the water.
 
 
 
How do I calculate how much I need for my aquarium?
  • 5 gallon bucket will cover: 4 sq ft at a depth of 3"
  • (a 55 gallon aquarium measures 48" by 12" or 4 sq ft.)
  • equilavant to 6 bags of "eco-complete !
  • approx 1.25 gallons of substrate per square foot. (note: if you slope or create hills, you will need to order more)

    In comparison to "Eco-complete":   Eco-complete takes 120 lbs (6 bags) to cover the same area, at a cost of over $180.00 !!!     Shipped in a FREE bucket...great to keep around for water changes etc.
 NEW***  3 Color Options to choose from:
  • Black Diamond
  • Natural Amazon
  • Red River

Looks good, plants seem happy November 4, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from NY  
just one thing, though - this substrate seems to increase TDS significantly. My tap water has a TDS=50ppm, but in the tank with this substrate it climbs to 250ppm (and keeps climbing until I change water).

Reviewer: Andrew from Belleville , IL United States
