vps Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hey guys, I'm starting planted tank and was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick up some Eco-Complete in the black colour in Calgary. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Big Al's does. Pisces is usually a little cheaper though, especially if it's on sale. I got mine at 15 a bag there compared to 26 at BA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vps Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 so Big Al's has been sold out for a few weeks, doesn't look like they are getting any in for a while. I also went to Piesces, they said they no longer carry Eco-complete. Anyone know any other stores that may carry eco-complete? Online stores would be an option too, but most of the ones I have checked charge an extra $15 or more for the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 How much are you looking for? I have a bag's worth sitting around in a bucket right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotian Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Have you considered Flourite? It's pricey, but gives good results and doesn't buffer the water. Eco-complete has been said to buffer the water although I don't have personal experience of this. I use flourite and have had good results. No problems growing anything. Swords and heavy root feeders like a root tab. With Calgary water, a higher Ph is the last thing you probably want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklfire Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 give a call down to river front. I tried to call for you this morning but they didnt answer, the last time i was in there i thought they had some that i seen, but i was looking for flourite myself. I am using flourite black in my tank right now and it works really good, didnt cloud up on me, looks similar to eco (as far as color goes), i'm really impressed with it.

vps Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I was at Riverfront 2-3 weeks ago and all they had was this geo-system substrate, I didn't reall know much about it. I'm trying to avoid flourite because I'll probably need 6-7 bags and would like to avoid rinsing, but I may just have to settle for flourite if i can't find any eco-complete in Calgary.
