    Default Questions about eco earth

    Hey everybody I went to PetSmart today and bought the value pack for the brick compressed eco earth it came with three bricks of eco earth and I was wondering of one brick is enough for a twenty long gallon tank and how much water I should add for the brick or bricks.

    In my opinion the value pack of eco earth is the best thing since sliced bread I would use two bricks for a 20 long.
    however it would only be enough for one inch. I like to keep the three bricks in a 5 gal bucket for use later.

    I would use two bricks. If their is too much. Just store the extra in a plastic bag for later use. And I will put the bricks in a five gallon bucket fill with the water half way. And just wait like a hour to let the bricks to expend. If it's to dry. Just add more water. If it's too wet. Just squeeze the excess water out.

    I keep FROG in a 10 gallon tank. I use 1 and a half bricks. I follow the instructions on the package. I use declorinated water to soak the bricks in. I use disposable rubber gloves when I handle the bricks and to squeeze out the water. Good luck.
