| Video Discription | In this video of NO FILTER NO CO2 NO FERTS Walstad method aquarium I will show you the progress during first 2 weeks after the setup. The most important thing with these kind of setups is to have patience. Yes the water will get brown but that is just potting soil leaching tannins. In my case I didn't mind the brown water so much but the main reason for water change was development of thick biofilm on the surface. I also discovered one baby snail that hitchhiked his way into the aquarium so I decided to add more baby snail from my other aquarium. I noted in the last video: "Although it is possible to place fish and other organisms on the first day (nitrifying bacteria are present in the soil), I have decided against it. There is always possibility of initial ammonia spike from the soil in case it was not capped correctly". During first 2 weeks I did daily test and it is interesting to note that I discovered no presence of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. I will assume that nitrifying bacteria that came with potting soil and huge plant mass took care of that. Big thanks to Foo the Flowerhorn and Diana Walstad who were main inspiration for this aquarium.
