My 28 year old substrate SECRETS. Down and dirty?

In this video I discuss the substrate in my 28 year old, low tech, natural style aquarium. Together with many other insights into the way these old deep substrates evolve, and establish over time.

Set up in 1995, this low tech (Walstad inspired) aquarium has been in continuous operation ever since. It has only had a handful of water changes over its life, the substrate has never been cleaned or disturbed (no siphoning, gravel vacuuming etc) It runs entirely at natures pace, with no additives, no fertilisers, no CO2, no chemicals etc. Many of the plants in this aquarium were planted back in 1995, and continue to thrive until this day.

The only things that are added to this aquarium are fish food and water.

If you’d like to know more about my naturally balanced, no water change, unfertilised aquariums, I’d be eternally grateful if you’d subscribe and give me a like.
