      That might actually look good, lets see how it looks as these fish sift through it and really mix it up. Thanks for the opinion and for stopping by.

    Dear Gabriel:
    In order to keep live, aquatic plants, it is necessary to fertilize them. Some think that detritus (fish waste) is sufficient. It is not. You can add compost, to an established tank, by wrapping it, in brown paper (like from a paper bag) that has no glue or toner, on it, and push it beneath the substrate. Root tabs and liquid fertilizer are inferior, to compost, but might help.
    I hope you have good success, with your endeavors.
    Sincerely,
    E. J. Brinegar

      Oh wow i never thought of that, to have some compost in there but also not have a full dirt bottom, how long is it good for? do i just go to home depot and ask for compost or do i need to make sure of anything?

    • @ejbrinegar
      @ejbrinegar 6 місяців тому

      I get compost, from a company called "Natural Solutions," here in my city. They have tons of various topsoils, in piles, outside. For a few dollars, I can get a 5-gallon bucket, full of compost, which is just horse manure that has been chopped and baked. If you don't have such a company, locally, you need to make sure the compost you purchase does not have any chemicals added. As to how long it lasts, I'm not sure. I haven't kept any, planted tank running for more than a few years, before replacing it. But, I suspect compost has sufficient nutrients, to keep aquatic plants fertilized, for more than three years, depending on how much you use. It is important not to add too much, as excessive nutrients will encourage algae. Also, with a new set-up, too much compost seems to lengthen the period of the nitrogen cycle. My friend's latest tank has had ammonia spikes for about two months,

      Thank you so much for stopping by and the kind words, I really do like the crushed coral and knew i had to record it right away because these sand shifters would mess it all up really quickly :p I think i will have to get on it and spend some money on this main tank.

    I've used crushed Coral in all my African cichlid tanks It's supposed to help the water hardness.

    • @GCaquatics
      @GCaquatics  7 місяців тому +2

      And it just looks so very nice. In the future i might take out the sand and put only crushed coral, but it will have to wait until after i get a few more fish to add color.

  • @FishRfun
    @FishRfun 7 місяців тому +1

    I think it looks great! Yes I love the crushed coral. I'm a big fan of yellow labidochromis so I hope you do get some more. I've never had African cichlids, but maybe one day. I have the exact breeder box, and I love guppy grass. Also, is that what they call Texas holey rock? Happy new year to you and yours, and stay safe

    • @GCaquatics
      @GCaquatics  7 місяців тому

      Thank you, and yes the next step for me will to be picking up some more color for the tank, possibly the yellow labs, and possibly another blood dragon or to as that orange looks nice. I am not sure what the rocks are called, I always thought it was coral however maybe not?

    • @FishRfun
      @FishRfun 7 місяців тому +1

      @GCaquatics well it absolutely could be coral. If you google Texas holey rock fir aquariums, you'll see it looks very, very similar. But anyway...it looks great!
