Another alternative is aquatic planting soil or clay conditioner which is
very close to Seachem's Flourite. I recently bought a 40 lb. bag for
under
20.00 for a 55 gallon aquarium. My fish and plants love it and it looks
very natural. It does need lots of washing though to remove dust. I
would
use it again in a heart beat.

I read a review of this in Practical Fishkeeping magazine (February's
issue).

The author said he has been getting very good results with it, called it
"the freshwater equivalent of live sand" and said he was getting good
plant
growth in tanks with and without CO2. The only downside he reported was
that it is very light and easily displaced during water changes.

It seems quite expensive, but I'm pretty tempted to use this for my
second
tank (I'm only three months into my first so this is a long term plan
.

I asked about Eco-Complete on the BP forum and got a reply from someone who
uses it at home and at her business. She swears by the stuff and says that
b/c the sand is packed in bacteria-rich water, it will instantly cycle your
tank (much like biospira, I gather).
