La prima settimana dell’acquario | Ep. 7

The first week since the aquarium was started has passed. 🌿 The tank looks still, but in reality a lot is happening inside.

This is a normal phase, shaped by adaptation and settling. During this week, I ran frequent tests—not to correct, but to observe. 🧪 The nitrite peak has not arrived yet, so I chose to intervene as little as possible, limiting myself to small actions: adding sand where it was needed and cleaning the front glass for the first time from the initial spot algae. 🐟 There are no fish yet. Stability comes first—everything else comes later. This video is part of a series dedicated to the birth and evolution of a natural aquarium, told through a slow, observational approach, accessible even to those who are just starting out.
