Hello, this is my first attempt at trying a planted tank and in need of HELP. I tried organic potting soil and capped with sand , after planting I started getting huge bubbles from the bottom, which I have learned are normal ( no sulfuric scent) . I try to poke the bottom to let the bubbles come up every couple days but have had many explosions causing a lot of the dirt to come to the surface , the plants are also starting to look bad with no growth . This is about a month in . I have lights set to mimic a normal day . Is there any saving this or do I need to just start again? Thanks so much this group is awesome
