How to Grow Aquarium Carpet from Seeds: Planted a Tank Set Up DIY

To begin this aquarium set up, you will need plant seeds. I got mine through Amazon. I have added the link below:

You will also need aquatic plant dirt/soil such as Flourite and or EcoComplete.
I grew these seeds using the dry start method. There are several YouTube videos on this. I added a link in the video.

To “plant” your seeds, just place them on top of the soil wherever you want your plants to grow. Then spray the well with water. The seeds and dirt should be wet, but no puddles are standing water should be left in the tank.

Cover the tank with plastic wrap and make sure you have some type of plant light on at least 1012 hours a day
Lift the plastic once a day for about 20 minutes to give the plants air/oxygen. Also check daily to make sure the seeds/dirt is not dry. If it is getting dry, spray it with water. The seed need to stay wet.

I recommend growing the plants like this for about 2 weeks or longer. Until you are happy with the plant growth.

Once your happy with the plants grow, add water. You will want to add the water very slowly, so you do not cause the plants to uproot and float.

Keep checking the waters nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia levels. Once the tank is cycled or if your water levels are correct and maintain correct readings, you can add your fish.

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments!
