Start 'Em Young!

My first Walstad aquarium (2.5 years old). I believe that to achieve success in the low tech/Walstad/Naturalistic or basically non CO² infused aquarium setups, requires a great deal of symbiotic relationship between fauna and flora. It's an ecosystem where both fishes and plants give and take from each other.

There must be a fair number of fishes capable of producing a consistent amount of biowaste, including CO², for the plants to use as nutrients and as the plants consume these wastes they are in effect cleaning the waters, keeping the environment safe for the fishes. Everybody is working in harmony with each other.
