Thank you Father Fish.. I have learnt a lot from you..

I was just wondering about coir fiber! I was wondering because we've been using it instead of peat in nursery plants, and I was thinking it would be a really good substrate addition. Good to know it's safe, because that was my question! 🙏✌️

You are great. Too bad i didnt find you years ago, when was looking for this info. Now, im broke in every way and can only enjoy others happiness. Thank you and very fun.

I live in Brazil so not able to get father's supplement... What can I do?

[nathancoker]

My tanks already has gravel substrate, could I just put a recipe like this on top of the gravel ? And then cap with sand?

I am considering replacing or changing most of my subrstrate in my coldwater saltwater tank. Is 110 liter just wonder what the best way of going for it would be. Tank is over 1 year old at this point. Main idea was get sand/mud from a beach nearby to use with the more gravel like big corn sand I had in tank already

In looking at potting soil and what's included, most seem to have peat moss and compost included. Is that a given and the amounts of peat moss and compost here are in addition? Are Perlite and pumice additives ok? Thanks for all the info you provide!

I’ve been watching your videos nonstop, they’re amazing! I have a question, what is the best way to fill your aquarium with water when you have chlorinated water? Because I’ve tried letting it sit out but it doesn’t get rid of all the chlorine🤔

[NatureStudio]

Hey will it be ok to not put the supplement? What will happen if I don't? Will the tank crash ?

[meateorman]

Have you used activated charcoal, AKA biochar?

[pjsratrods]

Could you use tidal fresh water river mud?

[Davesr]

Is it ok if the pond mud is soft clay heavy?

[elfpuncher]

Are the measurements given for a 20 gallon tank the long or tall version?

[mr.brightside]

I used one part organic kelp dirt and one part manurewith peatmoss

[NatureStudio]

You say to add peat moss but why should i put peat moss ? Why can't i just put soil 1 inch and 2 inch of sand ?

[q]

Why would I do this instead of sand? I’m trying to figure out what’s right for me

[jamesmills]

that is only 4 cups and the other video said 8 cups for 1 inch which would be 4 2 2 in stead of the 2 1 1 correct?

[laneelperry]

Where can I find your father fish supplement?

[dougzahlman]

Wish you told me that when you had your store. Now with 6 tanks and years later I guess I'm stuck with what I got. You told me you can use potting soil or buy dirt from me. Ether way you will be fine.

Will this decompose in my aquarium? Because compost does....
