For a low maintenance aquarium that is easy to maintain, healthy, grows plants, is loved by fish, has crystal clear water, and is a beautiful environment, you need to have a deep substrate in your aquarium. Not one inch. Not 2 inches. But at least 3 inches of sand, preferably covering an inch of Father Fish soil with its unique additives.
I have many videos explaining how to set up these wonderful natural aquariums. Be sure to subscribe to Father Fish and watch more videos on natural systems. I promise you will be delighted.

    Interesting to see a fish shop treating aquariums like hobby tanks.
  • @lightningdt1
    35 years ago the gentleman that taught me how to set up an aquarium said minimum 100 pounds of substrate in a 55. Best tanks I ever kept.
  • @basicbaroque
    Yes! I read the title and instantly clicked. I do deep substrate beds in all my fish tanks and have great success, even in the one I don't use a filter in.

    Can't believe I just found your channel. Love the old school aquarium techniques. The KISS method from the early 70s when I had gotten in to the hobby. As a kid a neighbor w/ 'advanced' life experience. got me into the hobby in the 70's. He had been in the hobby since he was a kid. Evey tank he had he ran this way. I ran deep bed for decades always had great results. Back in the dark ages one could find the old plate filters / under gravel filters really cheap. I added a bag of poly fill @ 1-2" deep then place the filter plates on top of it then add @ 2+ " of soil then sand & river /creek stone for cover. the plates and poly would save @ 2-3 " of depth. great way to get deep bed advantages and to save space. 4" vs 6" bed depth. I always ran a deep bed irregardless of what aquarium I ran fresh, brackish, salt and reef systems and NEVER had to water changes on any of my systems. The method is incredibly stable.

    Well I did it, I put a layer of dirt with potting soil and the additives you use in my new 65 gallon aquarium. And then I put three inches of pool sand. And then added some leaves and planted all my plants. You ought to make up little bags of all your additives and sell them. I had to go out and buy the smallest of each bag and I'll probably only use it one or two more times. I guess I'm going to get some pots and plants some tomatoes and peppers so I can use up all the additives. Will keep you posted

    I love your tanks. I'm a Peace River native and also a fan of deep sand beds in my planted tanks (5 so far). So happy I found your channel as there is always so much to learn in this hobby. Your tanks are inspirational.
