My First Walstad (no filter, no CO2) | Setup Day

In this video, I’ll show you how to set up a Walstad method aquarium from scratch. I walk through the entire process step by step: adding organic soil, layering gravel, placing hardscape elements like driftwood, and preparing the tank for planting. This is a low-tech planted tank build—no CO₂ injection, no filter—just natural balance, patience, and experimentation.

Have a nice one!
