What type of substrate do you recommend for a tank like this? I’ve seen many people say it’ll only work if you use unfertilized potting soil with a “cap” like gravel or sand, what other substrate works in order to accomplish the same effect for a walstad tank or bowl?

Do we need to wait for a few weeks and cycle the tank first? What if i dont have precycled substrate?

[@fishbroz]

If you don't have pre cycled substrate I'd look into videos on how to properly cycle a tank. Alternatively you can buy pre cycled substrate in some places.
