I have sifted and cleaned the silt. I was forbiden by my parents to boil the silt so I just decided to place it like that in the fish tank. I will be adding the water tomorrow (not today, today was alcohol day) and start the cycling process. I bought some plants so they should be arriving in the mail this week. I will be updating as I do everything. I will be doing a fishless cycle.
that looks like a lot of sand. i would be worried of anarobic pockets, and why did you choose sand after everyone told yo flourite or eco would be better? not criticizing just wondering
Silt looks good !! Might be a little much though. I'd reduce it to about 1 1/2 in. thick. Can't wait for some plants. What are you planning on putting in there?
