    I like plants inside the tank, outside the tank, above the tank, everywhere. The more the better! Great group of aquariums and plants you have!

    You don't need to buy expensive plants to filter your aquarium. Just get few sweet potato deep one of its end into the tanks and wait for the roots to shoot out. They'll grow wild and keep your tank crystal clear.

    Hello.
    1-Do you have sand/soil at the bottom of that tank or are the plants just floating in the water?
    2-How do you keep your plants erected ?
    3-If the plants are planted in the soil, any idea why don't they get root rot? because house plants in a pot get root rot whenever you increase water to the soil

    • @rayquatics23
      @rayquatics23  Před měsícem +1

      These are water loving plants when u keep them in a tank with no soil and adequate water flow this discourages the bacteria/fungal growth that causes root rot. All immersed plants have no soil. The plants in the aquarium are rooted into the sand. Some of my tanks have a “walstead” substrate with soil underneath and sand topped off. It’s not necessary to have soil with the way I keep my tanks but it does help for the true aquatic plants.

    What lights are you using above the houseplants? I recently got some LED bulbs for mine but the info is kind of overwhelming!
    I read you want to pay attention to Kelvin and Lumens but then some people were saying to look for PPF

    • @rayquatics23
      @rayquatics23  Před 2 měsíci

      Most of the time I just buy whatever they call a “plant bulb” the light over the pond is an industrial grow light because of my brothers previous hobby in growing fruiting plants indoors. Tbh anything with a peak in the red and blue light will do fine. Stuff like pothos don’t really care what lighting u have In my experience

    Which soil you are using?

    • @rayquatics23
      @rayquatics23  Před 2 měsíci

      A bunch of different ones. Mostly just topsoil some tanks have aqua soil topped with sand and some are just deep sand

    I wanna know what you know cuz I’m working on another project that will hopfully help it’s a fungi that lives in water and has a symbiotic relationship with the plant to increase crop production in a hydro environment and to bring back the flavours you get from having that relationship cuz the fungi exchange minerals for sucrose and plants need the minerals and other nutrients that fungi provide and I wanna choose a edible mushroom so your maximizing food production
