Thanks Dustin my second aquarium ever, and my first dirted aquarium!

Hello all,

My second tank and dirted thanks to Dustin

  • Thanks to Dustin recommendations. I have seachem prime/flourish and flourish excel. Although I don't want to use the regular flourish any longer it made my tank a hazy green for a day and I did a water change.

  • aqueon 200W heater for 50-75 gallon (running at 76-78 any suggestions here)

  • Last but not least, I bought a beginner plant kit t and some red clay from dustin.. I was easy with the clay spacing it out in marble sized chunks. I bought some miracle grow organic choice and didn't do anything but get it wet and throw it in. Was careful putting the first layer of rock in and put 1-1.5 inches on top of 1-1.5 inches of dirt I think.

This is a fun project and I plan on now keeping up wiht the 70-80% water changes weekly and waiting a full 30 days to add fish then switching to 25% every two weeks.

Dirt I used

Layer.

First I filled it and it was kinda dirty, some dirt was creeping up. drained it, put more rocks and filled again to the top  this tim putting in recommended dosage of PRIME , FLOURISH, AND FLOURISH EXCEL.. It was this cloudy green color and was even more cloudy the next morning.

Okay, I then drained as low as possible and filled again and here is the result.. I am afraid to add the green regular flourish stuff again as I think maybe that's what caused it?? Or was it the plants/duck wheat??
