Hi guys, I'm gonna setup a 65gal low tech planted tank in my parents home. The 65 gal was previously used for a variety of fish with sand substrates. Because of the stocking i previously had, i was pretty much cleaning up poop every time i do a routine maintenance. This journal will be updated weekly because I have to travel between my own house and my parents house. The round trip between two places takes two hours and I have the habit of coming over to my parents' every weekend to catch up.
My plan is the walstad method that people've been talking about and I did a lot of research into it before i made the jump. I want this tank to be as maintenance free as possible with the exception of water change and gravel clean (something easy but relaxing for my parents ).
Equipment: 65 gal tank, Eheim canister filter, heater, and possibly some diy co2
Substrate: organic potting mix, fourite substrate(these were on clearance two months ago and i grabbed then for $4 a piece, not a bad deal if you ask me)
