    So, I just found you a few weeks ago... unfortunately after I started my tank. What should we do if we didn't start with a mud base? I have a 20 gallon with 2 inches of sand and 9 potted anubias (3 varieties) in terracotta plus a couple of pieces (one large) of mopani wood.
    Over the last 2.5 weeks, I've added 8 Glo Tetras and 7 kuhli loaches.

    Hi FF hope you're great. Do you think your method is good for these both scenaries
    1°. 5 or 6 discus in a 120 gallon tank
    2° A pair of Oscar fishes and a pair of other big cichlids in the same 120 Gallon tank. Maybe no plants because they could eat them
    Do you think these cases would work with not filtration, not water changes but with deep substrate and food web ?

    I did a 30 day resurrection jar and put it I my tank (water only). Now my fish have flukes!I and i pulled out 2 small dragon fly larvae a few days ago! I emptied out a dirt bottom tank the other day and the dirt had stained and corroded? (Wrong word probly) the silicone. I'll never put dirt or any foreign water in a tank again. Highly recommend Fishtory he explains alot more and takes far less risks introducing things into his tank

    Question : I set my 55 gallon tank up without dirt. Everything , except the sand came through from the creek- the rocks, plants, the darters, killfish, and young. bluegills. I have 4 inches of sand , and a ton of natural gravel from the river mixed in- not washed , only lightly rinsed. Will my system create its own natural cycle in time as fish waste and such precipitates into the substrate?
