The science behind thriving aquarium plants
|
Hello! I’d love to share a recent video from Harris at Pond Life Aquatics. In this video, Harris dives into plant selection and aquarium ecology, referencing ideas from How to Create an Organic Aquarium along the way. It’s a thoughtful look at how and why certain plants thrive — and how they contribute to a stable, balanced system. Here is what Harris has to say about the book: “How to Create an Organic Aquarium is excellent. It covers a lot of what we’ve been talking about today from a very practical angle… organic substrate methods, how plants interact with soil biology, and a lot of the applied Walstad principles in a very, very accessible format.” You can watch the full video here: Harris is also running a giveaway: Three copies of How to Create an Organic Aquarium are up for grabs. To enter, head to the video and comment which plant from the video you’re most excited to try in your own setup. The competition runs until the end of April, with winners announced at the beginning of May. Cheers, Oli |
