I am so glad to hear that 😊 If you don't have patience I am sure you'll get patience once you will see your walstad getting close to the balanced. Having an aquarium is not like keeping any other animals, you want to interact with it, and in a tank you only interact with feeding fish or trimming and maintenance some time. So we are tempted to touch it 😄 The first couple of months it need some attention, later on is better forget about the tank for a while 😆

🤣 Many thanks buddy 😊

Of course my friend, I'm working on it 😊 In a week or two I'll post an update. Many thanks buddy, I'm glad you like my videos 💚

Thanks for the support my friend 💚 70lt... you're gonna have lots of fun buddy 😄 More plants you use better it is Only bad thing is the cost of the plants 😅 Anyway I love this method (walstad) cause it is a natural way to keep aquariums, and you don't have to do waterchanges after 4/5 months 🤣

Thanks my friend 🙂

Thanks for the support buddy 🙂 I will, the 4th upload about this is almost ready

Many thanks buddy ❤

Many thanks my friend 😊 Depends what is the temperature in the room. By the way cherry shrimps can tollerate temperature down to 19c° Ideal temperature would be 23 to 25 Celsius

Thank you so much 😊 In the episode 1 minute 1:41 you can find the complete plant list

When I first dived in to aquarium I was so frenetic to try co2, but then I discovered Diana walstad, I was reading so much stuff that I get very excited about this natural method to build a tank, so I tried, and I loved it. For the little I know about co2 I was reading you need also a good light in order to permit the plants to grow fast and using all the co2 in the water, How old is your tank? And do you have algae in it?

@@MicroWorld7 I have little BBA & green spot algae. Not much algae. CO2 is abundant in a natural system. We're only mimicking it by adding CO2. A walstad tank will generate 15-20ppm of CO2 for like 6 months. You'll see good growth and then after a while when the organics in the soil runs out, also the CO2, you'll see the plants struggle and algae come back. I don't add that much CO2. I add about 15-20ppm, just like a Walstad tank. You can see my tank here www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/journals/145165-my-75g-evolution.html Diana Walstad is on the forum, in the El Natural section.

Great informations, you said right, after many months you run out of organic materials in soil, but if you have a good amount of creatures, like I have more than 60/70 shrimps in the tank, they'll produce waste (poop) that waste will end up trough the sand, basically from the waste of animals and dead leaf the thank will produce it's own soil, the only thing you have to make sure is that you have a very deep gravel bottom The first month the layer of my gravel was not to thick, now is double the thickness it was at the beginning because all the organic wastes in it, in this video you can see It as a new dark layer forming under the gravel, you can observe it by the sides of the tank. I'll go check your video right now 😄

Wow, that's a wonderful 75 gallons aquatium🤟 Nice transformation during the years 👏👏👏👏👏👏

@@MicroWorld7 Well, sort of. The critters will supply good nitrogen based organics. The bacteria generating CO2, needs carbon based organics to feed and convert CO2. It's like a garden compost!

In fact I noticed some of them are deep red some others are slightly transparent with red stripes, let's see how they'll look once they grow up🙂

@@MicroWorld7 red cherdies are not deep but fire reds are deep.

@@rafidovi6027 only the time can tell 😄 I bought some red cherry shrimps and those are all the babies of the shrimps I bought, I noticed some of em have a white strip on their back

@@MicroWorld7 Oo

What my friend? 🙂

How old is the aquarium? At the beginning is ok to have lots of algae, remove em as much as you can, do lots of waterchanges at least for the first period the tank is running, you have to focus on getting rid of excess nutrients in the water, limiting the light period (is better if you have a constant light period with a timer for the lights). More plants you start with better it is, if you think it's a competition between plants and algae, so help plants in any way you can. If you see no end with the algae invasion try a blackout, cover the tank in the way no even a minimum amount of light will get through, leave it for 3 to 5 days (is fundamental you never check, you'll get light in it for sure) After 3/5 days uncover it and trim all the plants, get rid of all dead algae, do a massive waterchange and start with a short period of ligth as 6 hours a day and increase it over time based on how the plants are doing. I had a problem with blue green algae and it worked for me. Keep in mind is very stressful for plants and some may die

Yes, but is almost a year I don't use the pump anymore

@@MicroWorld7 HOW MANY CARIDINES IN A 5 LT WALSTAND JAR IN YOUR OPINION? I WOULD THINK OF A COUPLE. MY POT YOU WILL FIND IT IN MY PAGE.

You can put 3/4 in it I think, I they are comfortable with it they will breed as well

Malaysian trumpet snails

It is 20lt I'm not sure about measure, I think 37×27×27

благодаря ❤
