DIY Planted Tub Setup Using Garden Soil, Sand & Wash Sand

Join us as we set up a brand-new DIY planted ref tub using a layered substrate system made from garden soil, fine sand, and washed sand! 🌿 In this video, we carefully prepare and clean our garden soil, remove unwanted debris, build a multi-layer substrate foundation, and explain why each layer plays an important role in supporting healthy aquatic plant growth. We also share how we use root tabs to provide nutrients directly to plant roots and demonstrate our planting process using a variety of beautiful aquatic plants. Featured plants include: 🌱 Water Wisteria 🌱 Hygrophila polysperma 🌱 Hygrophila Sunset 🌱 Water Sprite 🌱 Cabomba 🌱 Limnophila sessiliflora (Ambulia) 🌱 Nasaea Golden This setup is one of our DIY projects, and there are many ways to create a planted tub based on your own preferences and available materials. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced aquatic plant keeper, we hope this video gives you ideas and inspiration for your next planted setup. Thank you for watching and supporting our channel.
