Father Fish Tip

Use 1 inch of Aqua Preta soil capped with 2–3 inches of pool filter sand. Plant heavily and avoid disturbing the cap—let the biology do the work. Trim as needed once growth takes off.

👉 Pair with a gentle sponge filter and simple full-spectrum light for a clean, low-maintenance setup.
