This was an excellent video. It gave all the information necessary with the precise procedure and perfect explanation at every step. And it was only a 4min video. Earned a subscriber. Thank you!
Thank you 😊
I have seen many channels related to aquarium but after so many years you made the precise videos with correct information and guide. Please make diy on CO2 other than bottle yeast method. Thank you.
Thank you for this nice comment. I will make DIY CO2 video very soon.
Thank you bro 🤗 but only one question 😅I'm using goat dung crushed and cap with sand my plants roots and stems are becoming melting then black plz tell how-to change dung into aquarium 🤗
You can use organic compost, I have already made a video on it. What you are using should not be used raw in the aquarium. This will significantly increase the level of ammonia in the tank and the plants will melt and die due to this. You can also follow this video and use a mixture of topsoil and organic compost in your tank.
That's helpful, please provide a video for organic soil that you have added

Thank you
Big help thankyou❤. Very well explained. I make my own aquarium soils but I still have alot to learn. Part of my problem is I use a potting mix as the compost element shown here. It is not so fine and is basically decomposed wood mulch which is not really possible to filter as you would lose half of it. I think I need to learn how to compost this fine material. Looks great.
So nice of you
Your content is amazing!! Please don't stop making new content❤️
Thank you

you’re such a life saver with these hacks
Thank you
Literally ! no joke, he just made my planted aquarium dream possible, Suggesting only the best and most costly things is the easiest thing in the world, while using available things to do the same work is truly difficult, that's why he is truly one of the top knowledgeable aquarists on youtube, May God bless him, for making the dream of so many people possible.
TH-cam's algorithm truly sucks, that it suggests after a few good videos only crap content and not channels like him, I barely see his content in my feed even after watching his videos day and night.
Thank you so much 🙏
Brother your video is so informative for us poor people who cannot buy substrate but still want a good looking aquarium. Thankyou so much for this also kindly tell us about how to grow grass in aquarium.
You can grow grass in this soil very easily, all types of grasses need nutrient-rich substrate to grow properly and this soil is full of essential nutrients required for plants. These plants need moderate lighting and if you provide extra CO2, it will grow faster and healthier. Thank you.

Nice video 👌🏻
Thank you
Thank you mate.
You're welcome!
Nice informative video bhai. Some videos I saw that power sand was used in lower layer and then they used aqua sand ! Is that helpful for tall and high root plant?
Thank you. Yes, all aquatic plants will grow well in this soil. No need to use power sand or anything below it.
amazing diy
Thank you 😊
Thx
New sub here you are indeed informative 👌👌👌
Thanks and welcome
As an amateur gardener, I say that your end-product is some NICE looking soil! Unfortunately, not everyone has that type in their garden. Our lawn is extremely clay-ee, but the raised beds are very dark and dense. I wonder if coir-blocks can be used? The stuff that you add water to and gets fluffy, then used for seedlings, etc.
Yes, you can use coir dust as needed to make the soil loose and airy. Thanks.
Thanks.that is Thiru❤️.👍
Thanks 😊
ধন্যবাদ দাদা ❤️
👍
Thank you for sharing this useful information, I will try this too but Im not sure how it will go since dirt around me is a bit different
I think it will also be good and work well, thanks.
@@madebykm I will tell you if it works :)
👍
100% Best tutorial for anyone interested in growing underwater plants, do any of your tanks use a plenum or filter under the substrate?
No, I don’t use any kind of filter under the substrate. Thanks.
I watched your all videos.Really helpful..Is it possible if we can make aquarium sterilizer.please make this video in hindi...God bless you..
Thank you. I will look into this.
amazing idea. i have a queation . as you wash garden soil should red soil and compost manure also be washed?
I like your accent also the video is helpful !
Glad you think so!
excellent
Thanks!
Good information bro. I wanted to start a small 1ft plantes tank and now I think I can do this. Only don't know how to get red soil. Any alternatives? Also can I use the organic compost from Nursary?
Thank you. You can get red soil and organic compost online at amazon. Also you can use organic compost from nursery but it should be 100% organic and free from neem and any other chemicals / pesticides.
wow the type of aquarium where u don't need to worry about water change because everything is naturally balanced
Thanks dada
welcome :-)
Hi Koushik, Thanks for sharing this information👍. I have a question, is this soil safe for fishes and shrimps? Please let me know.
Yes, this soil is absolutely safe for all aquarium fish, snails and shrimps.
@@madebykm thank you 😊
good
thanks :)
Bhaiya please make a video on how you made home made organic soil 🥺 please & thank you thank you so much , for the information ❤️✨
Yes, I will make soon 👍
@@madebykm Okey Bhaiya 😇❤️
Really awesome, but could you share how did you use vag nutrients?
Thank you, are you taking about organic compost?
Hi KM,in my new tank I used your method of DIY soil & topped the layer with plant soil( gray granules from local fish shop)..Hower even after 5 days the water is hazy.it’s a planted fish tank without Gold Fish..alternate day Iam cycling water to 30-35%..also Bio media filter is used..how can this be corrected..
Well made and informative Kaushik.
I have bought 2ft aquarium and want to try this method. Can you tell me is it necessary to dry or bake the Compost to get rid of any insect and worm/eggs?
No need to do that, thank you.

Welcome!!
nice sir
Thanks and welcome
Thank You Bro ❤️👍🙏
Welcome
@@madebykm Can we use organic potting mix (from Amazon) as bottom layer and top it with small marble chips(black). If so, is it as efficient as the soil in ur video. Please advise
Yes, you can also use organic potting mix.
Bro, cant wait for ur videos. How to contact u personnally?
I have a Facebook page where you can message me.
Sir can i use only vermi compost and red soil and will ot grow if i ise it
Thank you so much! I have wanted to do a planted tank for some time but don’t have a lot of money to buy fancy soil. I can’t wait to try this in my 10g
Glad I could help!
thank you for the advice but what is the ph with all of those minerals in the substrate?
Sorry, I haven't tested the soil pH yet.
Thank you so much for the video, I do have a question do we have to cover the soil with sand and gravel or is it fine on its own?
It is better to cover the soil with sand or gravel, because if the soil is disturbed, the water will become muddy.
@@madebykm Oh I see, still thank you so much for the video.
You’re welcome 🙏
Nice and helpful video Brother, thank you.
I hv a question..
Can i use vermicompost or pure organic compost, in the place of soil?
Thank you, you can mix either vermicompost or pure organic compost (without neem) with the soil. But you can’t use only compost in aquarium in place of soil, as it is a fertilizer. Thus, compost should be mixed with the soil in very small quantities.
@@madebykm okay. Thank you 😊❣️
I got organic vermi compost which is mostly made with neem leaves ... Will that be good enough?
Do not use any compost with neem. Neem is not safe for aquarium fish, shrimp and snails. I gave the product link in the video description, you can use it.
Where I live is dificult to find Aquasoil. This will help me in my project to create a Planted aquirium. Can you talk about plant to be use that can be find in your home or garden?
You can grow any aquatic plant in this soil. Amazon Sword, Nymphaea Lotus, Vallisneria, Water Wisteria, Water Sprite, Hornwort, Cryptocoryne etc. are readily available aquatic plants that you can use in your aquarium. Thank you.
I have Kuhli Loaches and a Spiny Eel who burrow deep in my sand. Would this work once they mix it altogether with the sand cap? Like would it make the water muddy looking or spike in Nitrates?
Yes, if you use this soil you cannot keep fish that like to dig the substrate.
I'm new subscriber Bro 🙏
Thank you for your support bro 👍
Can I use only vermi compost and the capped it with sand?
If I use pure ' Gonga Mati' will it be ok. Still need to add the organic compound ?
Yes, you can use ganga mati but you have to follow the steps I showed in the video to clean the soil and the use of organic compost is not mandatory here, you can skip that step.
Which is better for planted tank gravel or sand
Hello thanks for the video ! I have a question .. here in north america our soil is dark brown/ black and if the same process will work? thank you in advance
Yes, the same process will work, no problem.
@@madebykm Thank you sir !

Welcome!

I ordered some aqua soil and it’s fine powder and it came with 2 mesh bags, should I keep the soil in the bags or just add it in without putting it in the bag?
Just add it to the tank without putting it in the bag.
can i plant grass after i put gravel ? or i do it before putting the gravel
Gravel is not suitable for hairgrass; instead, use a thin layer of sand on top of the soil, then plant the grass.
Okay so I have prepared the soil for my 17 gallon tank. I am going to plant jungle vals and marsilea hirsuta without adding any fish for the first month. How often should I change the water if I want to avoid algea and stuff. Would like some suggestions.
50% of the aquarium water should be changed 3-4 times in the first 2 weeks after setting up the aquarium. Then gradually reduce the frequency of these water changes over the following weeks and change the water to 50% once a week. Along with this, using a very good quality filter is also very important and CO2 should be provided from day one of setting up the aquarium.
Hello sir.. when we are done with setup can we add fishes to it immediately ( i heard there is lot of ammonia release in a newly setup like this) appreciate your help
No, add fish/shrimp/snails after 3 weeks, when the tank is cycled.
Bro i have an existing fish tank and would be revamp this tank with your technique. I shall be using plants, aged water and sponge filter which is already there ( technically my tank is cycled right ) . Do i still need to wait 3 weeks before adding fishes
And yes mine is fish only tank. Also could you help me on how to take care of guppy fishes when on vacation??
Great job, bro! What is garden soil? I could not find here in Chennai. Only red soil is available. Thanks!
Thank you. Garden soil is normal topsoil or dirt which is usually black in color and rich in compost and organic matter.
@@madebykm Where can I get it? Available online? Thanks
You can use this - amzn.to/3g30PG4 Vermicompost and other organic matter have already been mixed here. So there is no need to mix anything else, you can use it directly in the aquarium and cover it with gravel or sand.
@@madebykm Thanks, bro for sharing the link. Very hard to find something like in Chennai. Will natural clay mixed with vermicompost work?
Clay is usually very compact by nature. So, I think even if you mix vermicompost with it, it will not give good results.
Can I use varmicompost and any garden soil for planted aquarium with out adding any river soil for top layer
Yes you can use vermicompost and garden soil. But you should cover the soil with gravel or sand, otherwise if the soil is disturbed, the water will become dirty.
@@madebykm bro whr I will get gravel bro.sugestme
You can get it from any aquarium store or pet market and it’s also available online at amazon.
I don't have enough money to fully carpet my aquarium. But yesterday I bought a small packet, i.e, half kilogram with my savings and just carpeted a very small portion of my aquarium 😭. All the other things, including the light is homemade. My biggest dream is to have a well carpeted and a very beautiful aquarium
Yes, if you provide your plants proper / balanced lighting and nutrients, you will definitely build a beautiful aquarium, even if you don’t use costly lighting, substrates etc. You can watch my Low Tech set up video for more information.
Is it need to change the water and using the aquarium filter pump?
Yes
More info about homemade compost please
This is organic compost made from kitchen waste. I will make another video on this topic separately. Meanwhile, here you can use any organic compost available in the market or online, but remember it should be free from neem.
HOw difficult is it to replant or maintain soil substratess? I am always afraid that I will cause a mess if the cap is distrubed.
