I tried this method for my first planted tank, it worked like a charm. My tank is now so stable and has no algae and saved a lot of water. Colombian tetra, Boesemani Rainbowfish & Dwarf Gourami will look good, and also Red cherry and Amano shrimp
On 28th December 2023, I have setup an aquarium following dark start method. But I followed my method which I tweaked according to my understanding. I started the light on 5th February , 2024 after 40 days but I have done four 90 percent water change in between, I have also added fish food and bacteria after each water change. The first water change was on 21st January, 2024. I have added plants on 7th February, 2024. 4 different varieties of rotala, hygrophila polysperma, reckini mini, ludwigia purple and mini sp red. I have also added DIY co2 on 9th February with liquid fertilizers and liquid carbon. I have not encountered the diatoms or any kind of algae. But for the last 10 days, green algae and some filament algae started growing, so I cut down my fertilizers and light and added alganil solution for 2 days and every algae disappeared. My dutch style aquarium is growing without any issues. It is a low/semi low tech dutch style aquarium. I have used fatherfis tweaked walstad setup combined with dark start method and I think I am successful with this one. Only key thing was the patience. I have continued with 50 percent weekly water change and from this week will start by dosing diy powder fertilizer with chelated iron and pgr1 and pgr 2 dosing.

Hi this setup looks great ! One question when we plant new it's lower leaves gets melted and new one grow well on top this makes look bad. How to handle this ?
Hi, I'm glad I came across your channel from today I'm your new subscriber. My black start method ends this weekend, so I want to ask you how many water changes will I have to make in the next period on a weekly basis since when will I plant the aquarium?

Great Bro Dark Start Method is a wonderful move bro, it brings lot of benefits to Planted Tank bro, Even Renowned and Famous Aquascapers use this method bro, this video is actually a great useful and informative video bro Keep it Up bro and thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge with others bro that is the important one You always do.
Yea bro... This method helped me a lot. You can try this method for sure
@@jkaquastudio Sure bro in my next set up I will definitely use this method bro
Bro after 40 days whether we need to remove water and add new water for planting or we can plant in that same water...
simple question When planting plants on the 45th day, what is your water level at 50% or emptying it for planting?
Electric blue acara... Will be a center piece fish n they are Hardy plus beef easily!
Glowlight tetra will be awesome bro ...and plants Ku temperature epdi maintain pandrenga please tell bro Namma ooru climatee Ku only in winter la nalla growth iruku apdiye summer vandha melt aaga start aaidudhu cooling fans vaikradhu not soo effective pls idhukagave Thaniya oru video panunga Karthik bro

Thumbnail looks wow and professional
Thank you
Bro. Setup is nice. Need to know if top is open some tetra will jump out and snail can come outside. How you are managing it?
Sometimes it will jump and if it is lucky i can save it else it dies… You can either close it by something or you can leave it
Any idea? How to clean co2 diffuser.
24 watts, 10 wats lights enough for 2 feet tank.?
After 40 days are you removed full water and post planted again filled fresh water??
After 40 days you should remove 90% of water and start planting
I've seen the same kind of set-up with altum angles. If possible try those with rainbow kribensis
Altum angels. Doesnt look big. Lets try
Awesome vdo bro ✌
Thanks ✌️
