    Not collected my res jar just yet but have left my deep sand substrate tank to do its own thing and for some reason i have snails and daphnia and detritus worms in there with my elodea exploding towards the surface it looks great gonna add some scuds maybe copepods you and father fish are helping to spread a more natural way of keeping aquariums that allow fish to be healthy and thrive not just live.

      That’s awesome! Did you get the sand from a local waterway that you got snails and daphnia in it?
      Thank you very much, honestly Father Fish has been a huge inspiration to me and how I look at aquariums. I always had the same natural vision but he has showed me so many different possibilities of how really to keep this style of tank and love to share that inspiration whenever I can.

There are still microorganisms in these jars but you can add portions of the jar instead of the whole jar as well but would still wait the 30 days.

    Hello there Patty. I just recently began doing the ff methods. Just set up my tank. I'm on day 2. I was looking up Resurrection jars and once of your other videos came up. I subscribed and am watching more😊 I went to a local pond area and collected for my resurrection jars about a week ago. In your video i see where you grabbed the dry leaves and put them in a jar with water. Is that regular tap water you put them in? How long do you watch those leaves before putting in (just) the leaves? I'm loving your very informative videos

    • @pattys_aquatics
      @pattys_aquatics  5 місяців тому +2

      Hello and thank you, I put the dry leaves in a resurrection jar that’s sat for its 30 days. I collect more than one jar at a time so I can have one just for adding leaves to. After the intial jar is added to your aquarium and the leaf litter is breaking down and disappearing that’s when you add the leaves that were soaked in the spare jar to your tank. As far as how long to soak them it’s up to you. I have had some that leached tannins so I let them to be done not to add that to my tank but otherwise just a few days so they sink. Plus with using the spare jar more microorganisms will collect on those leaves and are added to your tank.
      Hope that helped and thank you very much for watching. If you have more questions feel free to ask 😁👍

      The thinking is anything microscopic that needs a host to survive would die off in that 30 days that your observing it.

      Honestly I don’t think it matters the water flow or time of year. I have collected through the ice and in the heat of summer and with a river raging and have talked to people that collected out of freestanding puddles. Life is everywhere 😁 I did find more worms or larvae in the summer months I noticed, probably because that’s when all the insects are out and breeding but other than that it hasn’t made a difference.
