I just started my journey with nymphea c. and I can't seem to find any tutorial videos. The general consensus is that I am to use a clay loam, which I did not have so I experimented with something I have here, and may not work, but I have more seeds if it fails. My question is this. Is the tank set-up looking ok so far besides the obvious soil difference from spec? I also have an aerator that I will be using as well to keep the water oxygenated. Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: you cannot see in the photo, but the water comes up to about 2cm above the soil line, but still does not go above the top rims of the pots. I did this becase the soil I am using is a bit more on the mossy side, although it is mostly heavy enough to stay down as long as I don't shake it. Most likely this will not work out though, as I fear the weight of the seedling as it moves upwards may cause it to sink as if it were in quicksand, but only time will tell. I only really wanted to know about the water level and the aerator.
