planting mix

[deranged chipmunk]

Add some peat moss, swap the coco husk for orchid bark and fir bark, a little activated carbon for aquariums, and you have yourself ABG.

Adding springtails is easy, purchase them, dump them into the tank. Isopods are also essential for this.

ill try t find the orchid and fir bark but i dunno if i'll be possible since the largest nursery in my area didn't have them.

how will i know if the springtails and isopods are doing well? and how much of each do i add? do they need a minimal thickness of substrate to thrive in? its only a 10 gallon tank with a waterfall feature
