Thanks 4 posting this video. Question, so if I tried this same dirt/sand combo But I only planted 2 Amazon Swords, 2 Java Ferns, Anubis, crypts. All slow growing plants. It they basically struggle with a ton of algae for a long time or wilt & die. What would be your approach of doing this combo with all slow growing plants instead? 1) would you greatly reduced lighting periods to 2-4 hours Max? 2) do twice a week 50% water changes for at least first 2 weeks? I know I'm impatient & like to add fish right away & that adds nutrients with food habit phosphates & fish wastes nitrogen doesn't help either. Any pointers would help, appreciated
@MicroWorld7 3 ай бұрын
I would put a small amount of dirt only in the section where i put plants. About light and nutrients built-up. I would take a lower wattage light and put some floating plants which will reduce light penetration and they also eat a lots of nutrients from the water column

I trimmed the thank any time i decided is time to trimming.... and when you saw i trimmed a loads of plants it was because i didn't have time to care for it for a long period of time 😅 Honestly i had your same thoughts but the filtering capacity of the plant seems to be good anyway after tye trimming.

@MicroWorld7 3 ай бұрын
The water temperature depends also on the season since i have no heater, in summer time is around 25/26 Celsius, while in winter time is about 20/21 Celsius. The light is a led light 7w I keep it on 5 hours in the morning then it turns off for 4 hours and then on again for 5 hours. Basically 10 hours with a 4 hours break. But I've been increasing the light period with time, the first months i built the aquarium i was keeping it on just for 6 hours a day

Why not tweak it with corner air filter? For circulation and oxygen. Coz too much plants will suck up mostly all of oxygen in the night when the lights out.. They all say 10gal is a minimum for this setup walstad planted. Idk.. Mine works in any size tank with the right amount of substrate and plants and rhe corner filter will do the job of filtering, housing of benecial bacteria and nutrients circulation in the tank and will cutting off the photosynthesis time of plants. Idk why this so called experts of planted tanks always make things so long and expensive and time consuming. Mindblown

You're right, in the walstad there is more dirt and sand, but there is a reason because i decided to have a thin layer of dirt, i planned to have many shrimps and snails... they produce a lots of organic waste which will cumulate over the time, the snails will dig constantly in to the soil in search of food and to cover from predator bringing the waste under the sand, and that will be the new brand soil... tgere is a video about this tank where i explain this and i also show the new layer of soil that is formed

Thank you. Without counting the livestock it cost around 150/160. The biggest cost are the plants. It is a lot of work at the very first period you build it, then it gradually decrease with time the amount of maintenance it requires. Once the ecosystem has its balance you have to do very little other than trimming plants and refill the evaporated water. And to be honest it relax me to take care of aquariums, so is not a big deal to give them more attentions at their first period of life

Hola, soy de México, no sé hablar ingles, pero en verdad espero que puedas leer mi comentario. Me ha gustado mucho el video 💙. Estoy pensando en iniciar un acuario Walstad, para un gourami, pero no sé si sea bueno para esta especie. He visto que las personas colocan abono para plantas, tengo un costal abandonado en el patio de mi casa, le salieron hongos y no sé si debo usarlo ¿Qué me recomiendas? Me encantan estos acuarios, pero tengo miedo de que se llene de algas. Amigo, te agradeceria mucho si puedieses decirme que tan dificil es iniciarlo y mantenerlo, ¿se logra tener agua cristalina? Felicitaciones por tu acuario. Gracias por compartir tu experiencia. ¡Muchas bendiciones!

Thank you so much my friend, it feels good when someone appreciate your work 😄 In the videos i explain how to set it up and care for it. You'll need some fine sand or gravel, i suggest sand, some soil, any kind of soils, it is important it doesn't have chemicals in it or fertilisers. The first month or more you have to do a lots of waterchanges to remove excess nutrients in the water column. Start with 6/7 hours of light and gradually increase it till you reach around 10 hours of light. I don't know what do you mean for the microscope you need 😅

Everyody goes crazy when algae start to bloom. They should thank their stars that algae are there to bloom at all. They are a buffer and indicator for too many nutrients in the water collumn. Same thing with snails... some people go crazy if they see snails growin in their tank, especially when they have a population boom. They are an indicator that you have too much dead stuff in your water. The Walstad method requires frequent water changes in the begining, even daily water changes in the first 2 weeks because the soil begins to work and rot and it puts out alot of Nitrates and Ammonia. That's why those shrimp died in the begining. Walstad method : alot of soil, 3 cm at least, alot of planta from the begining, alot of water changes in the begining, then shrimp and snails, then fish...but the most important are the plants.
@MicroWorld7 11 ай бұрын
Yeah algae are not bad at beginning, snails are fondamental for the aquarium wellbeing. I did many waterchanges the first month, now I don't change the water at all. I know the requirements of a standard walstad, I've been reading a lot before to setup this aquarium. The reason I put not much soil is because I wanted the tank to be overpopulated, which it is now, so all poop will be the new layer of soil thanks to snails digging and moving the sand, I tried something new and seems is working till now 😄 I guess you read a lot about natural aquarium 😊

I show the new soil created in one of the videos 😊 The snails, Malaysian trumpet snails have the peculiar habit to dig themselves in to the ground, and I choose that particular snail so in the process of digging they will drag the poop under the sand 🙃 If you have any questions just ask, I'll be happy to answer if I can 🙂

I've tried both ways. Even with a thicker sand cap the nutirents still get into water column. Remember water has to flow through sand to nourish plant roots otherwise plant roots would rot & die. So water moves in both directions. This of sand more like filter floss, it filter large debris but nutirents are microscopic. A thicker sand cap does prevent brown water from dirt so that helps a lot. You learn with a very thin layer or people used gravel they deal with brown water tint for weeks/months.water looks like yes or b
