Newbie, beginner's attempt on 1ft tank

[thebaldingaquarist]

Doing my second attempt.. might be like your first time. I'm using ADA Amazon substrate.

From See: Attachment 38512 To No See: Attachment 38513

hah.. leaving overnight "filtering"

I think its too late to say this...
when "no See" situation appears, its worthwhile to take out all the media from the HOF and place in sponge. this is because you don't want your media to be clogged with soil..

Maybe next time you can try this method.

Invert a plastic container to add water
When water level is up, the container will float
Continue to add water gently by pouring on the container's surface until your desired water level

Can reduce a lot of mess in the water, and takes only a few hours to clear if your filter has a high flow rate.
