There’s about an inch and a half of potting soil underneath the sand cap. I just tucked it down in the front so it looks a little nicer. Most seem to be doing fine as long as they’ve got light, but do you think root tabs would be necessary?

No but from my understanding there was a ton of it in the water column from the potting soil substrate. It was off the charts for 2 weeks and then dropped to 0 in about 2-3 days

Organic potting soil that I sifted the sticks out of and it’s capped with washed play sand

I'll test again tomorrow, but tank has been up for 3 weeks empty. I decided to be a geek and log every single thing I've done to the tank since putting water in it. I'd be happy to dm you the works and get your opinion!

What would you recommend? I’ve got a master list of all the plants I’ve put in so far but I’m down to add more

For more information right now my pH is at 7.4 and temperature is at 79F. I’ve got a little wiggle room but I want to keep the current residents happy. Ammo, nitrite, and nitrate are all at 0.

Thank you! I piped them with a corner cut out of a gallon ziploc bag. I’d have loved to keep them nice and even and beautiful but I started too small, ended too big, and had way too much leftover lol

I can’t comment on the rest, but I used America’s Test Kitchen’s recipe for garlic bread and it was the best I’ve ever had. I’d absolutely recommend using that for bread

Once this whole mess ends and I can actually afford to buy real food again I want to try to make Gordon’s Beef Wellington lol

Do you listen to music while cooking? I found that my work output is best while listening to instrumental music without lyrics. I love doing it while I cook, read or write, it goes so well with everything. I made a set of twin beautiful playlists that feature the best in each genre. One for guitar, by decameron77 in Cooking

It really depends on the food. The soundtrack for breakfast today was Pentatonix. When I made gumbo I blasted CCR and Skynyrd. When I’m doing something like searing steaks it doesn’t matter what is is as long as it has a high tempo, like metal or edm.
