Hi everyone!
My name is Vince. I've kept fish and reptiles since the second grade. I've gotten the aquascaping bug in the last couple years now.
It all started after reading about using dirt as a substrate for plants in an aquarium. So, as an experiment, I set up a little 10 gal to try it out. Worked great!

Still only have a couple little tanks, but making space for a larger one soon... :)

Hi Vince,

I only just joined the forum myself, but as a kid I used a dirt substrate as well for my tropical tank. Works wonders for the plants for sure! I recently got back into the hobby as well, but a bit more ambitious as compared to when I had a tank in the early 90s.

Do you keep any critters in your tanks? What plants do you have?
