CaribSea Eco-Complete 20-Pound Planted Aquarium, Black

Q: how many bags should i purchase to fill a 55 gallon tank?

It all depends on the length/dimensions of your tank. I used it on my 50 gallon that is 36" long and only needed about 2 1/2 bags to get 3 inches. If you have a tall tank the less substrate you will need.

Q: can i add to existing planted tank that is also inhabited by tropical fish without harming my fish

Yes you can add it into and established tank, that is what I did, I had a tank full of black sand and I removed all of my plants and driftwood int o a food safe container filled with siphoned tank water, then I removed my fish and placed them into food safe containers. Then I removed 75-80% of the sand from my tank, cleaned the debris that was left over and poured in the Eco complete in, mixing it in with the sand. I had reserved my tank water and poured it back into a container, although unlike other substrates this does not cloud the water. After I filled the tank about 25% I added the plants and driftwood back, then added some more water and my fish and topped the tank off with fresh water. It was a half day process but well worth it, something I would do again!

Q: Is this okay for Cory Cats? Sharp edges?

I have 7 cory cats, 4 dojo loaches and 3 hillstream/chinese loaches and they don't mind it at all. It is like sand, I have the fine black one and I got it just for them...well and my plants too!

Q: should you wash this before you add it to your tank?

I didn't wash it, because it contains beneficial bacteria. I had no issues. It did not make the water cloudy at all. I don't recommend washing it.
