Just wondering what everyone’s experience has been, with using soil from a local pond or river.
I saw some videos about planted tanks where they go get soil from a natural source and use it under the sand cap, to grow plants.
I currently only have one planted tank, and I’m using aquasoil. I’m not sure how it is long term yet, but it has been leaching a lot of ammonia. So I’m wondering how natural pond soil would compare.
If you’ve tried this method, how did it work for you?
