Hi All,
I have a bits and pieces lying around so have decided to give the DSM a go.
My set up consists of a battered P@H 19litre tank, desk lamp with a horrible coloured bulb (too orange for my liking), lava rock and cat litter.
My question is this - knowing that the substrate I have set up will collapse a certain amount when water is added should I fill the tank up, let the substrate collapse, sort it out and then drain the tank or leave it as it is in the hope that the plants keep the lower levels in check and I just have to deal with the higher levels. I hope that makes sense?
Here is a shot of the tank if this helps.
