    I need to break down my 29 g that is my 1st venture into aquascaping, I see my mistake on the substrate - too thick and tho I did do the smell test, I think my soil had gone off in the bottom. My hard scape fell over, so I had to fiddle with that... I'm just not happy with it. I'm glad i watch YOU because you made me realize anything can be fixed, redone, etc... so many thanks for making me realize it's not that big of a deal to fix or just redesign tanks, lol.AND I am learning from my mistakes! And, I just asked my husband if our shop vac is wet as well as dry, it is, so I'll be able to expedite getting the bottom cleaned out so I can clean and reuse. Thank the tank gods for that! Lol

    Loving your work MD and have been since the days of your shed in the garden! I’ve been thinking about how you use API’s Root Tabs and your comment about using a tab whole, for when you need to push it through the substrate in an established set up. Isn’t this more to do with how, as a tab, nutrients will be released over a longer period of time - a slow-release fertiliser? So if you crush the tabs, as you do, a high level of nutrients will be released over a short period of time (probably a good thing for a new set-up?) because the ‘dust’ having a large surface area will break down more quickly than a tab. Therefore, in a new set up would it be a good idea to use a combination of some crushed tabs, some in quarters, some halves, and some whole? This way you get some initial nutrient boost thanks to the dust and the smaller pieces, along with some nutrients that are released over a longer period of time, from the tab. Potential new products for API could include ‘Root Dust’ and ‘Root Granules’ to go with their ‘Root Tabs’. Just a thought. Keep up the good work.

    Surprised that section in the middle to swim through wasn’t covered by rocks and plants 😂😅

    I don´t see any API products in The Netherlands but my lfs recently started selling a range of all in one fertiliser products I am already using and the nutri capsules are quite affordable. But the Colombo nutri base also works very well for me.
