Let's dive into the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of this popular approach to starting a new planted tank. The Dark Start Method is designed to create a stable environment for plant and bacteria growth by keeping the tank in the dark for a few weeks before adding lighting and livestock. We’ll cover the key benefits of using this method, like reducing early algae blooms, balancing ammonia levels, and giving beneficial bacteria time to establish naturally. In addition, learn the 5 easy steps of the Dark Start Method for your next planted aquarium.
