I have done custom client installation, 900 gallon aquariums at the public Newport Aquarium and yes...MANY of my own \"Dustin's Fishtanks\" with Dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo Way back in 2013 I wrote THE original \"Dustin's Dirted Tank Guide\"  This is a 64 Page FULL Color digital (or Hard Copy) guide of EXACTLY HOW to create your own aquarium substrate just like it do.   And yes- you can still grab of copy of that guide today and do it yourself.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can \u003cem\u003e\"teach you to fish\"\u003c\/em\u003e  You can grab exactly how I (Dustin) setup ALL of my display tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOR    \u003cem\u003e\"We can catch you a fish\"\u003c\/em\u003e   ...provide you our own dirt recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is how it works.   A simple understanding of a basic principle will dramatically improve your aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eand that basic principle is this.  \u003cstrong\u003e\"PLANTS ABSORB 4 to 400 times MORE NUTRIENTS through their ROOTS, than through their stems and leaves.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTOP.  That's a big statement.  We need to unpack that a bit.   Have you ever seen someone do that trick where they pull a noodle through their nose and it comes out of their mouth?  Yes- Theoretically you could \"eat through your nose\"  but wouldn't it be more effective if you ate where you were meant to eat?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same can be said about aquarium plants.  YES- They CAN and DO eat through their leaves, but that doesn't mean it is their preferred method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is obviously some species variation here, but AGAIN. \"Plants absorb 4 to 400 times more nutrients through their roots than through their stems and leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo- Would you like to feed your plants where they eat?  I thought so.     Here is how it works.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have taken the time and the long bumpy road to learn how to create the Aquarium Substrate layer.  The NEXT Layer, the forgotten layer, the dirt layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Notice I am saying \"LAYER\" here. We will still need to COVER this layer...more on that in a bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOk- So you have to understand that the \"Dirt\" we use has to go through a process.  We have to make it so the dirt does NOT destroy your aquarium.   We do the work for you.   I personally have prepared EVERY Dustin's Dirt Pack.  It's kind of fun too, I get to help get our customers get a better aquarium from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don't need to source all of the ingredients. You don't need to be standing around  at Home Depot trying to figure out which kind of dirt to buy. You don't need to figure out how to add clay to the mix or how to increase the calcium levels.  You don't need to worry about how to put it all together. NOPE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe (ok me, Dustin) have done the work for you....most of it.  We have done the BOTTOM Layer of your aquarium substrate.

When in doubt add MORE gravel. Note: Don’t cap the dirt with the following- play sand, ECO-complete or anything too fine. 2-6 mm gravel works best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill the aquarium just past a slow drip so as not to disturb the DDP layer.
