A layer of living soil (\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aqua-preta-soils\"\u003eAqua Preta Complete Substrate\u003c\/a\u003e) sits under a sand cap and feeds rooted plants for years. You plant heavily on day one and skip the CO2, liquid fertilizers and root tabs. Then the plants, the soil and the tiny life in them balance the tank. This pack gives you that full mix in one order, sized for a large tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFather Fish says: \"Start a new tank with stems and vals.
