Lights and Substrate

I like Eco-Complete.

Has anyone else noticed this because I was planning on putting Cory's in there.

Corydoras barbels are very fragile, I'd find a better substrate. What consistency is Eco-Complete? I've never used it, but I've heard it's good for growing plants.

I just use regular TOP SOIL from the hardware store as the first 2-3 inches of substrate, plant the plants and cover it in pea gravel or large round rocks to keep the soil down out of the water.

EDIT:: This is what I get for not reading the last page of the thread before posting.

LOL, its not too bad, the texture is quite nice, a lot of fine mixed into the coarse grains but I'm sure cory's would be fine. I have some pygmy corys in there somewhere.

LoL, I hadn't read your post, and was saying I'd find something better than Flourite for them, and was suggesting Eco-Complete. I'm having a blonde day.
