Check out Father Fish's method. I set up a 10 gallon with garden soil capped with play sand. Got all my wood and stones from a local stream and put them straight into the tank without cleaning them at all and added LOTS of plants. No co2 or ferts. Bought a good light, heater and filter. 14 months later, my technically over stocked tank is healthy and thriving. This is not a cheap hobby but you can keep costs down by buying used equipment. Watch Fishtory and Father Fish and you'll be golden.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate your input, and I’m always on the lookout for ways to keep costs down.

Wow, it sounds like you've really created a thriving ecosystem in your 10-gallon tank! It's inspiring to hear how well everything has come together after 14 months. Keep sharing your journey!
