Update on the 44g blackwater


Recommended Posts

So finally after weeks of trying to tint the water, its starting to change. 

I really have a feeling it was the eco complete as it is volcanic based and thinking it was probably working similar to carbon pads taking out tannins.  Not sure if it has "saturated" fully but this is only after one day of adding new indian almond leaves.  

The tank is growing in nicely and definitely seeing some runners spreading with the dwarf hair grass.   

Also, we had a huge infestation with mosquito larvae (probably from wood that i had outside trying to get it to sink) 

The 4 guppies completely destroyed them in about 5 days.  

Eventually this will be getting lots and lots of harlequins

It’s good to see it tinting up for you. You gave me another reason not to like eco complete, it makes sense tho that it would absorb the tannins being volcano rock. 

glad I could help.  For me I used it to lighten up on the cost of the stratum
