is this better than eco complete substrate?

This is different than Eco-complete. This is a substrate additive who's purpose is to retain nutrients and fertilizers if added. Where Eco-complete is an all in one substrate. I would layer this and Eco-complete to get an even better substrate.

This crap sucks! It only lasted a year for my plants nutrition and it cuts your fish!

I have the Rubbermaid and I love it. The reason I went for it was the bigger pad - I have a lot of cleaning area, but it might not fit behind a toliet. The pad is thick and holds a lot of fluid. If I were you, I'd compare the pads of each product and see which you'd prefer to be scrubbing with. It's really the only difference.

I started with the one step compound and the Orange pad and it came out flawlessly. I'd recommend in progressive grades to be safe. Always use a wax sealer after otherwise that oxidation will come right back.

Also if money is an issue you can use regular algae scrub pads or a similar sponge from wherever. Won't work quite as well, but, in my experience, it did the job very well for a tenth of the price and similar results. I use the biomax media in the top two trays and premedia in the bottom. You can also get a polish filter to put in the bottom tray for best results, but just remember to remove it after a week or two as it gets clogged and will slow the water flow eventually (especially with RESs).

Hi, Because turtles are messy you want to establish as much nitrifying bacteria growth as quickly as possible. Bottom layer eheim Ehfi - middle basket Eheim Mech - top eheim substrate Pro Sintered glass spheres. ( regarding the top basket only make sure you put whatever media you chose in media bags) eheim media is superb I've used it for 35 years. It rarely needs replacing. If your tank has enough water depth I would add a powerhead or wave maker - the powerhead will add current to the water to loosen and free up debris and waste so the filter becomes more efficient and the water much cleaner. Marineland and Aqueon have excellent units at a great price. The Marineland pro 1200 is a best bet I have a few of them and they work like a charm. Amazon sells the 1200 for around $25 - list price is $89 so it's a steal. Hope this helps! Peter

I prefer it a little more than clp just because in my opinion the odor is more tolerable than clp and it's Eco friendly.All in all it works well.

I have had good results with the standard green compound(I think it is 0.5 micron). The white also works well.

Other comments saying you should not use carbon with it is not true. Seachem rep recommended to use carbon along with it (but is not necessary), which filters different things.

It will cover that much area comfortably, I have never tried Eco earth bedding so I can't really answer that aspect of the question. My iguana has no problems with this bedding though. I would recommend it. Much more bedding than you can get in the store for the same price.

Actually not sure how it is different. Personally I am a bit disappointed with this product. I am attempting to get green algae or similar from a fabric covering of a patio cover. So far no luck. May try Oxi Clean now that I have seen your question.

I honestly don't know. In doing some research, I found other manufacturers also advertising "Eco-PVC" mats which supposedly are dioxin and pthalate-free although I could not find any technical information on the internet to support such a claim. While I am aware of the health concerns with PVC, I detox and cleanse regularly so when comparing the price of this mat to others of similar material and build, the cost savings outweighed any potential issues. A friend/yoga teacher who recommended I look at a jute mat paid over $70 for each of her mats and they look almost identical to this one. My only recommendation would be to contact the seller with your concern.

The substrate material (what's under the finish) is irrelevant. It does need to be applied in a thick coating and works best if the environment and the surface is above 70 degrees.

I own/use the paintshaver pro and the metabo. I preferred the metabo and my crew of workers used to argue who got to use it. The paintshaver pro is aggressive and will gouge the woodwork. The metabo on any setting never gouged. They strip equally fast, the metabo area needs less prep before paint in my experience. I suggest buying an extra set of blades for either one. Hitting hidden nails dulls them and I've learned the hard way and had to order them and wait for delivery. If I wouldve known i would have bought 2 metabos instead of one paintshaver pro. Oh and also the vaccume you hook it up to makes a big difference also. Hope this review helps your anticipation

It is not any better, they are both excellent products. Give them both a try is my recommendation.

Simple Green is non-abrasive and non-corrosive. Should work well for this purpose. You should wipe the surface after spraying just to take off the dirt and leave a clean surface.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I prefer the chrome finish over the other finishes. So far the chrome finish has held up nice and is easy to clean. I will say, you have to wipe/clean after every shave due to the chrome finish. Because every smug or residue from the soap can be seen on the finish. A plus is the chrome finish just stands out more on your bathroom sink!!

the sana gloss is a little more expensive, but it stays clean longer- doesn't pick up any water stains (etc). I picked up a sanagloss model because it was on sale. I would normally buy the eco drake normal model otherwise ( I have purchased 5 of those). Great toilets!!!
