Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of setting up a 30g tall planted tank. Well, it's gonna be a while before I can set the tank up fully. Currently, I just have water in the tank with a couple of filters running on it that way I have something to look at. There's no heater, no substrate, no plants, nothing. Just a tank with lights and 2 hob's running. I don't even have a heater for this tank yet.
A while ago I bought a bag of eco-complete and it also has just been sitting in its bag waiting.
Here's my questions.
Can I just add the eco-complete right now? or should I wait until the tank is ready to be planted? I wasn't sure if the nutrients in the soil would die off if I did this. I wanted to add the substrate now that way it's one less thing I have to do later. Does this make sense? I just don't want to add the soil now if it's gonna go 'bad' by the time that I add plants. I don't even know for sure when Im gonna set this tank up, it might be a month before plants and a heater go in.
I hope this question isn't stupid. I couldn't find any info about this anywhere so ANY answers to this would be super appreciated.
