The Fraternity of Dirt
motto:
Just because its dirt doesn't make it low tech

Welcoming any dirty tankers to join.
To me NPT is the use of dirt (any dirt) as the primary media under a containing cap material.
That's the only requirement for membership.
CO2 or non, high tech / low tech doesn't matter. Got dirt? Got a journal about a tank with dirt? Good to go :proud:

People searching for dirty tanks here on TPT will have a guide to your thread simply finding this list.
Share your experience and help create a guide simply by keeping you're tank threads updated.
Got wet dirt? Simply adding you're name and picking a number is how to join.

NPT - natural planted tank
Broad term for soil based aquariums.

Many are trying to tie the use of this term to the works of Dianna Walstad author of Ecology of the Planted Aquarium.
The author herself doesn't claim this if any bother to actually read her book. (I did and keep it on the self reading it often)

Others have tied it to only low light or natural light, no CO2 systems with an emphasis on low-tech, natural aquariums and aquatic plants. (lack of techy stuff)

I like this web posted description that's from a site dedicated to the topic:

"The term "Natural Aquarium" can be used to describe different types of planted aquariums, including any planted aquarium. To me a natural aquarium is a low tech planted tank, generally set up to resemble natural types of settings. These tanks are usually a bit less formal than some of the other planted tank styles, and can often include invertebrates as well as fish and plants. I think of a natural aquarium as compared to other aquariums as a country garden is to a more formal one."
http://naturalaquariums.com/

To me NPT is the use of dirt as the primary media under a containing cap material.

Google it (NPT) and you spend the rest of the day reading the results. LOL

What I'm doing (or trying to) is loosely tie together or link to threads on this type of tanking.
Dirt substrates (my opinion)
Dig it up in your yard or spend $1000.00 on 'the good stuff' (lmao) Even AS doesn't always preform and act nicely in a tank. Dirt is dirt.

Seeing a member sig with the logo in it or reading this thread where people claim a number and link they're tank threads gives a list of those here on TPT and reviewing those threads the results of using 'x' and 'y' produced WOW, YUCK or OMG! results. This is what 'I' did in 'my' tank. Pictures timeline yada yada are there following the members posts.
MTS, AS, backyard dirt matters not! If it's dirt it can be linked.
Got dirt? Got it wet in a tank? Get a number and join! (if you choose)
Share what happens using what you put in a tank both good and bad.

I'm not about 'excluding' people. More about doing and learning so nothing elite about me LOL.

Everybody wanting to join should see something like this posted by the last member joining please pass along whats below in your post joining and see you in the threads:proud:

I'm just starting up my first "dirt" tank. It's a 29 gallon with mineralized topsoil capped with Black Diamond blasting abrasive. You can follow my thread via the link in my sig...

OK, all you dirty people, listen up. This coming Saturday, the 28th, my internet radio show is all about using soil in the aquarium. We have three special guests:

Betty Harris- Betty has been doing the "Walstad method" since 2001. She helped me to create the "El Natural" forum before I merged it with APC. She also has her own forum called GAB. She will be talking about the basic principals of what the Walstad method is. One of her Walstad NPTs has been running for over seven years.

I will be giving away my own copy of Diana Walstads Ecology of the Planted Aquarium, autographed by Diana Walstad, to the tenth caller after we talk. to Betty.

Glenn McCreedy, moderator here at plantedtank.net, will be talking about his experience using mineralized soil, why he chose this method, what he likes about it, and what he doesn't like about it.

Chris Brown, has been researching his own improved method that takes the mineralized soil recipe and expands it. He uses a lot of humus and peat. He hasn't discussed it much here, but has gone into great detail about it on APE. He will discuss all of this and be open to your questions.

YOU can ask any of the guests questions by calling in at the toll free number, or via a live chat room which will be on the episode web page while the show is live. You will be able to chat with anyone else logged in during the show.

I will also be giving away a substrate fert product and fish food to callers.

January 28th, 10 am pacific time. The link is in my signature.

I probably won't be up early enough to get involved. Could you post the info on this on this forum?

I use reptile coconut bark under dirt, for it is cheaper than peat. Would like to know his opinion on it.

Well I was somewhat reluctant to read a thread with so many replies but this one I just had to. I started a dirt tank (my second tank) back at the beginning of January 2012 and just yesterday decided to add dirt to my main tank as well.

Needless to say: I'm sold!
