Setting Up the Substrate for My South American Budget Aquascape

Today I’m setting up the substrate for my South American budget aquascape build using coco peat, vermicast, and black sand. This is one of the most important parts of the setup because it helps create the foundation for a planted tank that looks natural and supports healthy growth. In this video, I’m walking through: -Why I chose this substrate combo. -How I’m layering the tank. -What I’m trying to achieve visually. -How this fits into my beginner budget aquascape build. This channel is all about learning aquascaping, building tanks on a budget, and showing the full process from start to finish.
