I quit making aquarium video, there will be no more aquarium related videoa in this channel. My new video will be like this:

This colorful planted aquarium without CO2 injection was set using the principle of The Walstad Method with some adjustment. If you want to learn more about this method, please consider to visit Diana Walstad’s website here:

And buy the book if necessary.
All plants require CO2 to do photosynthesis. Our aquatic plants aren’t exception. Unfortunately, there are only a few CO2 in the water and most of the time this is the biggest limiting factor to grow submerged plants. That’s why we need a method to provide CO2 for our underwater plants. One of the method is to use soil under our substrate. The metabolism of organic matters in the soil by the bacteria will provide CO2 for our plants during early time after the tank was set. Then, we can add the organic matter in our tank with fish food.
Soil can provide CO2 for our plants, but the CO2 supply will still be limited. So we also need to reduce our plants’ demand of CO2 by using moderate lighting. Lighting act as catalyst for photosynthesis. The higher light intensity, the more CO2 that our plants need. By using moderate but adequate lighting, we can grow more plants that people tend to believe. I have no complete data about the plants that can be grown in in this kind of planted aquarium set up, but in this video, there are at least 14 species of plants, which are:
1 Ludwigia sp red
2 Red lotus
3 Hygrophila difformis
4 Hygrophila polysperma ‘sunset’
5 Red cabomba
6 Helanthium bolivianum ‘vesuvius’
7 Three colored lotus
8 Rotala macrandra
9 Green rotala
10 Rotala H’Ra
11 Cryptocoryne pontederifolia
12 Cryptocoryne wendtii
13 Alternanthera reineckii ‘mini’
14 Hair grass
After we provide CO2 and moderate lighting, we also need to make sure the CO2 stay in the water for as long as possible. This require us to give minimum surface agitation. The gas exchange between water and air will release CO2. This gas exchange happen in the water surface. The more water surface, the quicker the gas exchange. Surface agitation will increase the water surface so by reducing it, we will also reduce the gas exchange. So we need a filter that can keep the surface agitation minimum. Also, the filter also should only has moderate water movement because strong water movement will add mechanical stress to our plants.
That’s all that we need to do to grow plants in planted aquarium without CO2 injection. If we do it correctly, the success rate is high. Good luck and thank you.

Bacod ato kasih keterangan
co2 is so cheap these days so why not?.. costs only $50 and your plants grow like 10x faster.
Kenapa pupuk DIY nya gak di produksi biar bisa beli pakai pay leter 🤭
Sabar banget liatnya
Can we use vermi compost?
bagus banget kontennya om
om klo make potting mix bisa ? klo bikin kan lama tuh sampe berminggu", jadi pengen yg siap pakai
Modif lampu kyk gtu pengaruh gak bang pda tanaman . . Apa hrus tinggi lampu tetep pda tiang pabrikan . . Semoga dijwb
makanan ikan fungsinya untuk apa bang ? terus itu makanan ikan jenisnya apa bang ? makasih bang
Front light is better
Bang kira-kira brpa watt untuk tank 40x30x30 dgn tanaman low co2/tanpa co2?
I'm amazed at the fact that you grew the red cabomba without CO2, since everywhere I look it says it's required but watching this made me hopeful.
What light did you use for the cabomba though?
Wow… I hope I can soon try this..
I would be thrilled to have results like this with a soiled tank.
Cheers!!
Edyaan..ini orang berilmu..bukan ber merk
Pantesan bisa banyak dapet ilmu nya👍👍
I learned so much from your videos. Love your channel dude. Salam Dari Malaysia❤️
Very nice you got skills man
Did you not get brown algae or any sort of algae??
Also did you add shrimps??
Amazing video. Thanks.
Kalo ga pake filter, trs cuman pakai skimer bisa?
salam Dari Malaysia. What is the special light you used for the red cabomba? Semua AR saya selalu fail. Melt, holes, turn yellow. Stays green also. I use 2 kandila's.
Gan ko sub indo nya ga ada, dulu perasaan ada
I'm wondering why you are recommending to only use 1" of sand for the cap ? Just getting ready to make a dirted 75,,,,,,, 8 )!!!
this actually was super enjoyable, thanks youtube algorithm and thank you for the clickable thumbnail.
Look, your channel is wonderful, just wonderful. This video taught me a lot. I could tell from the sarcastic tone that you must have suffered criticism from the "know-it-alls" out there. It doesn't matter… what matters is that you have solid knowledge and I'm learning a lot from your channel.
It was a flash of light! Thank you very much indeed for sharing! A big hug!
So you're saying not use High light in beginning?
Please upload more videos on low tech planted aquirium. Your videos are freee from any bullshits . Its pure knowledge and i like your honest guidelines which you gather through your vast experience.❤ From India .
Im really surprised with thw cabomba red, i have a similsr setup but my filter kinda moves a lot the water surface, maybe thats a reason i cant grow cabomba red, i'll try adding a sponge to make the filtration a bit slower to see what happens, amazing video!
Exciting! I am extremely new to this hobby and don't yet have the tank setup I want but will very soon. I'm confused on why you are uprooting the plants and then replanting them again in the same spot??? I'm sure there is some reason for doing so, I'm just unaware. Please enlighten me! 🙏🏾
Ive seen people trim the tops of the plants that are growing rapidly and then replant the part they cut off… it seems you're also doing this as well.
Hah? Udang bisa muncul sendiri gt bang?? Ko bs
Itu bahan media tanahnya apa aja pak…tidak ada nama"nya
Tanaman yg merah itu apa namanya pak ( kanan kiri belakang)
Bagai mana kabar anda sekarang?
Super Cool 😎
Without CO2, how long will the plants last, my friend?I've tried without CO2 in the past, but it didn't last long. Maybe because the room didn't support it because it was hot
