This soil making is better i did it.I purchased soil too and made diy too I found out that this soil gets nice hard if given nice heat treatment.The soil which we purchase when crushed gets easily crushed but not this soil.Cheap and effective way to make good quality soil at home. 👍
If you had any tool to make the granulation process faster what would you use? I got a 350 gallon tank I'm thinking about re-scaping. I could just use soil and call it a day, but I don't like the idea of wanting to replace a plant and accidently pulling the soil out and into the water column.
Bro u can make a granulator machine! Rotating a tumblur(or some like in vessel shape) at some angle less than 90° and using this mixture technique bwould make is effort less and faster,easier:) I just have idea,still I haven't experimented! So do try in small scale ,so if it works,then upgrade according to ur need! Hope it helps bro:)
I'm from Bangalore and i dont know where i can get this clay... I can't get it online bcz the cost is too high and can't make it at home either since it takes too long, my tank is 20g where do you recommend? Is it maybe available at pot shops on roadsides ?
Ya u can, use vermicompost/normal compost and dilute this any compost in organic soil(normal soil) and use this mixture... U can dilute as per ur needs, whether u want the Aquasoil to be more mineral/nutrient content r less u can adjust it 👍

You will lose all the nutrients in the vermicompost when baking... besides, it's rather expensive if you have to buy them. But if you have access for a lot of it, I am curious how it turns out if you make them?

Great job my friend. Caution long read :-) With that much of an effort and manhours, it should sell for 1.5 times the cost of branded soil. Overtime can you share a video of the compacting factor of this home made soil of yours? as all super expensive soils compact over time including miracle mud - I am a salt water guy you see... freshwater is too difficult for me, my montis, stags, acros, stylos, pocilos, gonios, euphilia, zoas, bubble tips, Magnificas and Haddonis never melted even when my tank was new, but I got a 20g betta tank from a friend for free with a crown tail as an inhibitant, when I added the most expensive plants with expensive soil, they melted in 2 days, FW is difficult than reef tanks. From the compost core can you share what is the nutrient intake of the plants? are the roots able to get through to the core to extract nutrient from the compost core. It will be interesting to see if root tabs and daily dosing will be needed in the long run with this soil. Best to pre heat the oven at 300 and then put the baking tray in and then increase the temperature slowly. Though a saltwater guy by hobby, I had used this method in my refugium but just 2:1 ratio mixed baked, powdered, sieved and then put in the refugium topped with fine dry aragonite, Halimeda and grape Caulerpa growing very well in the refugium section. Halimeda getting the Ca from Aragonite and the daily Ca, Alk and Mg dosing for SPS twice a day through the newly replaced Kamoer singles, trust me the cheaper 4 channel dosing pump brands suck, the dosing pump gets stuck for no reason, in my fuge the penetrated roots get the nutrition from the baked soil. Great job you. Waiting for more videos for the compacting factor, I never pelleted mine for the refugium but the great thing is nothing ever leached in the water column, under water flora and fauna is just thriving in my 120 gallon reef. Never used AF lifesource as this home made baked soil in the refuge is taking care of things in the current condition, went on holidays, no cleaning for 2 weeks, yet no algae on the glass, the DIY baked soil doesn't leach silicates, there is a bit of phosphates and the marcos love it and consume it so much so that I am now adding phosphates, looks like the part of my garden where I got the soil from had a bit of iron so my Gracillarias is staying as red as ever and thriving. . Looking forward to staring a brand new planted setup, my first one ever, 75 gallon in my bedroom as I have now broken down the closet, your DIY soil would greatly help. Gosh salt water is different from FW planted but concept is the same, dosing, bacteria et all minus the salt :-)

Bro can we roast them just in the powdered form rather than making granules.
You can, you have to wet it first though, but it will be a rock. You can smash the rock for natural looking granules.
