    If I had to say one reason why most of my tanks do well, it's because of this. I've had catastophic fails before when I've added too many nutrients to the substrate. I'm starting to get to a level now where i'm dialling right in to what works well for me 😊

    MD - great post. The explanation of the substrate is great. Thanks for the energy and effort you put into making these videos! You are very successful in growing all types of plants. You've shown us how "any" light works, and - now the substrate.....what about your magic water? I live in a place with VERY hard water and seem to struggle to grow plants. I'd love to see a video that educates a bit more on water....and what to do when we don't have your magic water. Thanks again.

    @tinksmith4964 2 года назад

    Ah ok so I’m new to this but what that sounded like was the 33% of everything but the soil should be capped to stop dirt and algae blooms. Just because every time I touch the water the bottom kicks up soooo much soil crap

    • @curvingfyre6810
      @curvingfyre6810 5 месяцев назад

      If you're using a dirt layer, I recommend using as much as 2x cap as soil. That way you can comfortably plant *only* into the cap, without ever getting your tweezers into the dirt layer.

      I think Foo is stretching it. The titles are similar but there are only so many ways you can say low tech no fert no co2. The styles of the videos are completely different. And I don’t think anyone is confusing the two creators. I love Foo’s peaceful videos but MD is fun to watch in a different way. There’s room for everybody. Foo has a bigger channel. MD has more videos. I think it was a mountain out of a molehill and it makes Foo look a little foolish.

      Having looked at MD’s earliest videos, he was certainly copying foo for a boost in viewers. The videos with similarly titles to Foo’s have about 10x as many views as non-Foo titled videos. Despite that Foo should have said something years ago while this was taking place because it looks like MD has moved on. If not please link videos where MD is still copying and I’ll gladly recant my statement. So, it appears Foo got what he wanted.

      You need to give your plants SOME form of nutrients, and you can get some by dosing the water column but the root system is the most important. You should be able to get away with using root tabs for those if you are just using a decorative gravel, but you might not get the same results as a really nutrient rich soil/substrate underneath.

    Try put your ranchu in a more shallow tank, may help with the swim bladder issue.. Higher depth tank tends to exacerbate swim bladder issues. Only a suggestion..

    You use a lot of seiryu stone, but I understand it leeches calcium, raising the ph. How do you compensate for that?

      Not sure if you'll get this notification, but certain leaves and pine cones release tannins and can combat that. I believe there's also liquid additives that can lower PH

      Yea there’s practically no parallel. MD posts more frequently, with less nano scapes, longer vids + narration. The claim of plagiarism is a little drastic, only applying maybe to video titles a year and a half ago. Foo didn’t create the walstaad method...
