I went to to buy a couple bags of eco complete but the Activ-Flora really caught my eye. It looks far better than in the online pics. Mine had none of the white specs. It actually looks like crushed slate with some pieces having layers of clay-red, black and gray. It has numerous layers to it (silt at the bottom, fine garins, med grains, then the slate-like top layer). The peices that sit on top look fantastic, unlike any other substrate I've found. I almost didn't buy it because I had never heard of it but I'm really glad I did. Mixed it in with some FlorsMax Midnight (black, like Eco Complete, but w/ better, richer coloration and a little red). The two combined look amazing. The ActivFlora looks extremely natural and compliments the wood in my tank beautifuly. The fish love rummaging through it and my ghost knife and clown loach have become far more active, searching through the activflora all day. The plants do great on it. I rarely do online reviews before but I am so happy about this product that I though it deserved a mention since it looks so much better than that tired stuff that everyone buys these days.
