Do yourself a favor and skip the $30.00 bag of aquarium hobby sand and get a $12.00 bag of Black Diamond blasting sand which is a fraction of the price and actually a larger bag.
I like to mix in black cow compost manure in with dirt. Also added nutrients. FF has a good ingredients list.
I just used normal potting compost,had no problems plants are fine water and fish ok
Im really surprised you haven't got 10.000+ subscribers. I've been binging watching your videos the last few days :)
Thanks! Glad you've been enjoying the videos! I just started posting regularly just under a year ago. Hoping to hit 10k during year 2! Thanks for the support!
I have had earthworms live in my tanks and ponds. They do need water that has a good amount of oxygen in it.
I add crushed oyster shells that they sell for chickens. It is way cheaper than crushed coral that they sell at fish stores.
Just found the channel
4-5 videos in great content
Thanks for the content
Nice channel!!! What do you think about my ten gallon? Any suggesstions???
I use dirt from my cloth pots for lettuce. Some nutrients already been used up so its not as potent as fresh from the bag stuff. I think dry start lets it off gas easier so you dont have to burp it as much.
Great video 🙂
Cool I am thinking about doing this too
Your plants will thank you!
Is this only apply for small fish like neon tetra?
You can put a plenum at the bottom to help prevent a total lack of oxygen in the soil.
Plenums: Are they really the best biological filtration system you can have? - TH-cam - th-cam.com/video/Ti5xPhj5XC0/w-d-xo.html
Giant duckweed is easier to deal with than the tiny duckweed.
I can get a 50lb bag of pool filter sand for $11.
Also have you ever put a 40 to 55 gallon tank on the rack used in this video?
I haven't, no. But I bought another rack that can hold 4 times as much and I would feel very comfortable putting a larger tank like that on the new one
@@thedirtytank I bit the bullet and just ordered a tank stand on Amazon that will support 1k lbs. I became frustrated after attempting to build my own. I couldn't get the wobble out of it. I'm assuming one of the 2x6 was bowed. Anyway when it arrives I will set up a 55 gallon that was recently given to me with all the bells and whistles, including 3 months worth of food. It was like Christmas in November.
do you think you could make a video on removing scratches from tanks?
That's a good idea. If I get a tank with scratches I'll make a video
awesome. thank you@@thedirtytank
Hello, good night or morning depending on when you read it, I wanted to ask you a question, I have this commercial garden soil, which I bought, consulted and they inform me that it has:
80% organic matter in decomposition or already decomposed
10% perlite
10% blonde sphagnum peat
.
They say that their substrates are free of agrochemicals, that they are organic, and that their nutritional power lies in grinding a portion of the tropical undergrowth that they have.
.
It is a new local brand, they informed me that they sent the components to be analyzed in the laboratory, and in a few days they will tell me the compounds more precisely.
.
But with the knowledge we have about the substrate, do you think it could work for me to use it as a natural nutrient substrate or would there be too many nutrients?
I was thinking of 2cm of this organic soil as a base layer,
On top, 2 or 3cm of fine river gravel to seal, and on top another 2cm of fine black volcanic gravel for a better finish.
Thank you very much in advance, I have no other source to obtain organic substrate beyond the commercial one at the moment.
Hey, that one sounds pretty good. The perlite will help it from compacting as quickly. The only thing to note would be the peat. It will potentially add more tanis to your water and lower ph a bit more but nothing crushed coral couldn't buffer. I still think you should plant heavy and use floating plants as your buffer for excess nutrients. Let me know how it goes!
Hell ya! A father Fish knockoff video!
Not really... this guy deviates from FatherFish's process quite a bit. While FatherFish is the loudest advocate for dirted tanks, the concept has been around for ages.
