How easy it is to work with
This stuff is great, easy to plant in, and most important does nothing to your water parameters, well it has no effect on my water after 2 weeks. All reading are perfect, and ph is always around 7.2. Will be buying more for my 120 gallon planted tank project. Awesome stuff!!!!!

For dirt, this is some of the best stuff you can get. But it does have some downsides.
TL;DR: Good dirt, fish and plants love it. Expensive. Have some Prime and Zeolite for ammonia leaks.
Pros: Contains great nutrients for plant growth
looks great
isn't sharp (doesn't hurt my corydoras)
comes packaged in water/conditioner already so no need to wash which makes it very easy to use, just dump it in the tank as is
Cons: the water it was packaged in was FREEZING COLD, so I could not add the water to the tank. I have no idea if the water had nutrients or if I was supposed to leave the water out, but I didn't like the idea of putting random different water in my tank anyway. I just scooped it out with my hands instead.
It is known to leach small amounts of ammonia into the tank for a while afterwards. I did have an ammonia spike of about 0.2ppm but I am not sure if it was from the eco complete or from the new plants (new plants tend to die off a bit, so they can also cause ammonia spikes). I added some zeolite to my filter and the ammonia went away very quickly. I recommend having some on hand just in case, as well as Seachem's Prime conditioner.
It is decently expensive.
And my last point, which isn't a "con" but it is something I had to mention - it clouds the tank at first. You are adding dirt to a tank.. it is going to happen. As you can see in the pictures, you can barely see in the tank at all. I couldn't even see my fish at one point. They were fine, they were in the tank as I swapped substrate and they were very curious and happy fish. After a few hours of running the filter it was crystal clear again.

This photo is just 30 minutes after I completed changing the tank out. I replaced the old decor and gravel and just poured the new substrate in. No rinse required and it looks great. You will need to change your filter but that’s it. Very pleased.
