My First Walstad (no filter, no CO2) | Setup Day

In this video, I’ll show you how to set up a Walstad method aquarium from scratch. I walk through the entire process step by step: adding organic soil, layering gravel, placing hardscape elements like driftwood, and preparing the tank for planting. This is a low-tech planted tank build—no CO₂ injection, no filter—just natural balance, patience, and experimentation. Have a nice one! _______________________________________ Join the Discord:   / discord   Become a member:    / @newtobubbles   _______________________________________ What I use (paid links to help me out): Lamp: https://amzn.to/42S7vP8 Gravel: https://amzn.to/4iX9TtI Siphon: https://amzn.to/3SaMB8L Tools: https://amzn.to/4jwtxhj Planters: https://amzn.to/4jzWLMp Heater: https://amzn.to/42IjiiE Lava Rock: https://amzn.to/3RUoQlt Water Conditioner: https://amzn.to/4iTWDpC Ecology of the Planted Aquarium - Diana Walstad: https://amzn.to/4mgpbNh Plants in this tank: Phyllanthus fluitans: https://amzn.to/43lN12p Hydrocotyle leucocephala: https://amzn.to/3F0tyuW Littorella uniflora: https://amzn.to/4j5ZTPa Adiantum raddianum: https://amzn.to/3YBTiVg Eriocaulon sp. “Vietnam” Ceratophyllum demersum Hygrophila polysperma _______________________________________ Part 1:    • My First Walstad (no filter, no CO2) | Day...   Part 2:    • My First Walstad (no filter, no CO2) | Day...
