Mineralized Soil with Sean Murphy | ScapeFu058
Sean Murphy is the first to use mineralized soil in planted aquariums intentionally. Mineralized soil retains all of the beneficial nutrients but removes almost 100% of the organics that regular soil has. This minimizes the changes of algae while still providing your plants with the nutrition they need.
Items mentioned:

Potter's Clay
Dolomite
Muriate of Potash

Dry Start Method
Your Dry Start Method episode from 2015 may have saved me from disaster. I had too much water & too much humidity. Duh. "DRY start" right. Caught it early, I think we might survive. ;-) Thanks! Be well!
Excellent podcast
Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge. Without it I would have given up on my first CO2 planted, aquascaped aquarium... seriously!
Just the Podcast I've been Searching for!
I just discovered the Scape Fu Podcast about a month ago. Since downloading my first episode, I've been binge listening while traveling. I'm absolutely obsessed with the freshwater planted tank and have been on the lookout for something like this. When researching topics and techniques I often have to pour through forums to get contradictory and anecdotal advice. This podcasts addresses almost every issue I have ever wondered about. If you were to just choose one to listen to I highly reccomend the Cara Wade interview. It contains everything you need to know about aquarium lighting. Thank you Art!
