As I mentioned at the dinner yesterday. I have a soil and sand substrate. I regular add potassium to the water at least twice a week and prune plants that hit the surface. This has given me great root structure. Major grower of Cabomba and Amazon Swords.
Just started using root caps I got from aa guy online. Still testing.

lawn dirt
 
The issue with lawn soil is the stray stuff found in it thst you don't expect. Pollutants, fertilizer etc.

I did find an old cigarette filter , but this is only going to b for plants so I think it will do the trick😝😝😜

Well I set up my 5.5 gal tank dual substrate ; sand and dirt valesiniria some kind of bushy sword ah a cardinal plant , dwarf baby tears and a spider plant which I had in my 3 gal and it sported roots just floating ;now the question is do I put a filter ; heater airstone I have a dual light full hood over it ?? No fish goin in tank 😳😳 oh and a small java fern😍😍😀😀

My trick is to place the heater under the filter to keep the tank evenly heated. Keep lighting on the light side as that tank is pretty small. Good experiment
