What is the best substrate for a beginner
I find it hard to understand all the fuss about Flourite and the dust
it creates. Have we all lost our patience? Sure it creates some dust but it clears up in a day or two. I would have thought that color or growth quality would be the biggest reason why one would choose between the two. In my case the color is the only reason why I'm not using it, I prefer the more natural look of Flourite myself. Eco-complete seems to have many trace elements that Flourite doesn't have, I can see the benefit there as you won't need to add them yourself, obviously time will tell how long these elements will be available for, plus once the Flourite substrate has matured, chances are it will provide many of these elements too. But unless you plan on building sand castles in your tank, I think the dust factor of Flourite shouldn't be made into such a big deal. Messing around with any substrate will cause problems, and it's not the dust you need to worry about. If we're talking about best substrate for beginners, then perhaps the fact that eco-complete already contains some nutrients may give it the advantage, but I don't think it will make or break a tank, if you are successful with eco-complete I'm sure you would be just as successful with Flourite.
