To be honest mate with so few plants I would not have bothered, under gravel substrates are mainly for densely planted tanks you’d of been better off using the tropica all in one in this setup.
This is not true, check out my latest video with tropica aquasoil, did you read the instructions that in the beginning you have to do alot of water changes ?
It is really only beneficial to use aqua soils for dry start carpet plants. I dry started mine 110 gallon tank with monte carlo carpets. Let them grow in the dry for 2 month before I flooded the tank. Even then I used a ton of GFO and pond plants to strip the phosphate the nitrates lol...These soils are so insanely rich in soil I honestly don't know how people use them without dry start.
To be fair, he didn't HAVE to upload his mistake. He could have just made a new video with no faults. I'd say it's more valuable to beginners as it is - it'll make sure people double check to read the label. As for the killing, that was probably due to the N most likely coming from ammonia in the powder.
You didn’t need to cap the tropica MD fish tanks makes these tanks all the time. Your hk alkalinity buffer in your water is not strong enough. You should of tested before adding. Should always start with nails too. It was probably not even cycled

Music volume 10.... Voice volume 5
Lol
You shouldn't plant anubias that's why it probably rotted
Yeah I think it was wedged in the wood or rocks! The issue was the substrate wasn’t capped and was leeching too much into the water column

Does it have to be gravel or can It be sand?
Jamie Richards can be either mate, just needs something to cap it

Some of them can be used “raw” however the issue with this one was that it had to be capped and I didn’t do that!
You don’t need to cap it off
Why not? In fact it can help keep ammonia levels at balance if capped of with river sand or other gravel substrate
Your alkaline is way way to low because of the soil and the log .
I nearly KILLED all my fish ... not kill
Thank you for highlighting your mistake so others won't. Your tank looks lovely.
Yes I had a massive algae bloom in my office tank!!! !!! Thanks for tip super helpful for when I set up my home tank this week!!
Let me know how it goes 👍🏼
@@All_about_aquariums went great! Just put some neons in yesterday, plants look amazing. Great tip!
So basically you can't be bothered to read and think and you're blaming that on tropica? OK, I see.
Jeroen Wijnands 😂😂😂 not at all which is why I said in the video it was my fault, did you even watch it?’

To be fair.. I'm looking at my bag now .. and it doesn't say it needs to be capped!
