Rudles Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I pulled the biological media out of my filter and replaced it with filter floss. This cleared up the super fine particles. I also pulled my T-5 grow light off of my 20 and put it on here. I'm actually seeing a little bit of plant growth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac M Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 What kind of substrate are you using? Im interested in the layers as it looks rather deep. I agree with the others, it will grow in nicely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudles Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 I put down a perimeter of Eco-Complete filled in with organic planting soil amended with egg shells and banana peels (dried) then capped with Eco-Complete then sand and finally fine gravel.

Isaac M Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Wow, I have never seen something like that before. I am very interested in the long term development with this substrate style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudles Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Father Fish has a lot of videos about deep substrate on his YouTube channel. He has many tanks that have been running for over ten years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
