📖 - Video Description:
In this video I’ll show you how to plant in a bare bottom aquarium ...
I always had sand in the aquarium, but I decided that I wanted to take it off and keep the bottom bare. However, I really like having the aquarium with plants and it becomes difficult to have plants without being anubic, bucephalandras, ferns, etc ...
In this way, I created this method of planting that has given very good results and thus, I can have the aquarium planted as much as I like ...

@gororobadaboa Год назад

this aquascaping construction technique is directly linked with kokedama plants... with a high diversity of plants, low tech balance is lost. in aquascaping aquariums, fish are secondary elements. in order to maintain balance. DISCUS are the kings of the aquarium, plants are less needed.

@PSKaqua Год назад

Hello my friend!!! Sorry for the huge delay in responding. I've been a bit away from social media and the PSK aqua project, but I'm slowly making a comeback. In response to your comment, which I really appreciate, it depends on what you see. I for example can see the discus involved in the environment with plants. I hate to see discus and any other fish in an empty aquarium just to be the center of attention.

This is a great idea for messy fish like discus. Easy to clean the bottom of uneaten food while also still maintaining a beautiful planted aquarium. A couple questions, what temperature do you keep your aquarium for the discus? What fertilizers do you use and how often? Thank you for sharing this layout!

@PSKaqua 3 года назад

Thank you very much for the comment, Philip !!! Comments like this give encouragement to someone like me, who only has this channel and aquariums as a hobby, to continue. I usually have the aquarium at 29º C (84º F). When I do any treatment, I gradually go up to 30 ° C (86 ° F). I use seachem flourish fertilizer once a week, usually on Saturdays.

@philcarlino6942 3 года назад

@@PSKaqua Thank you for the reply and it's good to know. i've heard good things about seachem products. I dose Estimative Index developed by Tom Barr, but only dose once a week (micronutrients on monday/macros tuesday) since I run low tech tanks. Dosing dry fertilizers is much cheaper on the budget compared to liquid ferts. I wish you all the best with your channel, do what makes you happy not what people want and your channel will grow more naturally. Take care!

@stylze5767 9 месяцев назад

are you not worried about the fertilizer releasing massive amounts of ammonia into the tank??

@PSKaqua 9 месяцев назад

Hello my friend!!! No, the amount of fertiliser and fertile substrate contained in the socks is not enough to make up for the amount of water. It's too diluted.

@deniskozlov6683 2 года назад

Very clean looking bare bottom! Love it, does the sock and rubber band last long in the water? As in do the dissolve from the water over time?

@PSKaqua 2 года назад

Hello my friend!!! Thanks a lot for the comment... 😊 I had this layout and with this technique in use for about 6 months. The only problem I felt was that I may have over-turned the rubber band and as the plants grew they were choked. But putting fewer plants per sock you won't have a problem. As for the deterioration of the sock and the elastic, there was nothing to point out.

Hello Arun!!! Thank you very much for the comment ... This "smoke" is a hydrolysis device. It uses an electric current to separate the H2O molecules into one hydrogen and two oxygen. This increase in oxygen in the water will inhibit the growth of algae and also serve as a water sterilizer.

Very cool. Do you have to change the soil after a year or so? Subscribed

@PSKaqua 2 года назад

Thank you very much for the subscription, it means a lot to me. The soil I didn't change it. What I did, was in two months I put in another capsule of fertilizer, but I haven't had more than 8 months with this layout either. One tip, is not to put too many plants in the sock and not to tighten the elastic too much.

@nazeemameen1253 3 года назад

I'm happy that I have found your channel. Just a couple of questions. Won't the sock deteriorate over time? And also can we directly place the plant in plastic net cups with rockwool/sponge ?

@PSKaqua 3 года назад

Hello Nazeem!!! I'm glad that you like the channel and that I can help you in any way. ☺️ The socks, I don't think they deteriorate... before the socks I believe that the rubber band will deteriorate first. I personally don't like to leave the plastic vase and wool inside. But I think it doesn't harm fish.

@nazeemameen1253 3 года назад

@@PSKaqua Many thanks. 1) Can we decorate our freshwater aquariums with beach stones and coral stones? Will it increase the ph? 2) Is it required to place a layer of garden soil or organic soil underneath the sand substrate for planted tanks?

@PSKaqua 3 года назад

@@nazeemameen1253 1) The beach stones usually increase the PH… depending on the fauna, this could be good. But if it's for fish that like more acidic water, it's not recommended. 2) Yes, the garden soil must be very well covered with, for example, sand. If it gets in contact with the water column you can have problems with ammonia and algae.

Hi Marco!!! Thank you so much for the comment. I don't have them anymore because I changed the layout in the meantime... but they lasted very well in the socks. The echinodorus for it to release new shoots, I advise that you keep the rubber band right at the root so that it gives the new leaves a chance to come out.

Do we need fertilizer tabs if we use ADA Amazonia as the aqua soil? Also will it leach ammonia into the water? On a separate note what is is the best substrate for Geophagus and Corydora?

@PSKaqua 3 года назад

Hello Nazeem!!! I don't think it's necessary, because ADA soils are already very nutritious for plants. But you can put, it won't do any harm if they are well covered by the substrate. For Geophagus and Coridoras, fine sand will be the best. It doesn't hurt the barbels of Corys and Geophagus (I don't have much experience with these fish) can suck the sand without swallowing any bigger pieces.

how do you pp bath them?

@PSKaqua 29 дней назад

Hello my friend!!! As I understand it, you want to disinfect the aquarium. If you want to do it to the fish, I won't tell you how to do it, as it could be dangerous for the animals if done incorrectly. To disinfect an empty aquarium (without fish or decorations), you should mix 1 gram of PP per 10 liters of water. The water will turn purple at first until it is almost brown, meaning that the effect of the PP is over. Remember to use gloves, a mask and goggles when working with PP. It is a toxic and irritating substance.
