To favor the sprout of plants, I spread under the sand a put to bed special loam aquarium (ridded of the dead organisms) of 2 cm thickness. On the loam, I plaçe a plastic netting to avoid that the fishes, while searching the sand, do not do climb back up the loam to the surface. I spread next the black sand on 5 to 6 cm thickness. The usage tof loam is not recommended by the stores who prefer to propose base powder products. I did the try but their effectiveness stops itself to the boils of some months only. If you wish to use loam, the precaution to take is simply of to well compact it before putting the plastic netting. It is necessary to avoid that the air bubble remain jailed in the loam. With the loam, the plants push and multiply themselves during 18 months minimum. Next, it loses of his effectiveness, the plants do not multiply themselves more but they push themselves again very well.
