DIY potting soil substrate for a planted tank

Hi. Did a little trim and took better pictures with the wife's camera.

 

wow!

 

One of the things that the potting soil might be short of in the future is Fe ... not sure if you have done this but look at nails

Growth is looking very good.

Later Ferdie

 

Thanks for that. I added some red clay.

 

Got some clearer pics of dash's tank the growth is astounding! !

 

stunning tank! stunning pics!

 

@dash

What's the latest with your setup and are you running a co2 system in that tank?

 

No co2 bud, just some natural goodness

 

Tank is doing fantastic. Planted the hell out of it. Know co2 used excel when I remember.

 

Excelent planted tank.UM Where do the discus go not much space left.How many discus do you have.If this works like to se 4-6 foot tank planted like that (AND THER WUD BE SPACE FOR FISH TOO.dnt think you need co2 ur plants are booming as it is and too much co 2 can be bad for fish, u gotta controll it.Nice tank dude hope it works well in the long run.

 

Hi know discus in that tank. Discus require warm temperatures a specially when they are still young and are eating a lot. Co2 with potting soil can be used but, is not required.

 

but isn't this the same tank you have on simply as your avtar with discus in the picture?

 

No it is not. Discus in a 4foot extra high BB tank and, the planted is a 3 foot.

 

Hows it coming along? Post one peekcha

Thanks @Moni tank is still growing well. Needs a serious trim.
