okay.. restart..

1 -take out the water
2 -plant all ur plants when u take out the water
3 -when u wana refill the tank, u must ALWAYS SLOWLY POUR IN THE WATER. this so the water wont disturb the soil..

some people they fill the water up with the air hose tube, damn small ryt? and water pours in very slowly and that doesnt disturb the soil..
cuz when you pour in the water quickly, it will disturb the soil.. so water become muddy loh!

another way is.. take plastic bag, put ontop of soil.. then the water u pour ontop the plastic bag so it wont splash onto the soil..

fill up ed, maybe still Abiiit muddy only, then u hafto wait lah, let the filter do its job.. after one day im sure it will clear up! patience my friend

co2 to plants are like oxygen to human!

theres plenty of co2 in the atmosphere, but theres not much in water

co2 tanks actually supplies the plant with co2 underwater

yeap plants take in co2 and produces oxygen

total opposite of a human

i diy for 1 year man
