Mother Nature has been doing her thing for a long time! We have found this hobby gets more enjoyable when you stop fighting and start embracing her. The natural approach to aquarium keeping starts with creating an environment that can support a large diverse group of microscopic animals which in turn creates the perfect habitat for larger animals like fish. As you introduce more microfauna into your tank and observe, you will notice something very interesting. As time passes, the populations of different organisms in your system will start to balance out, giving your tank more stability. As the diversity of your microfauna grows it will be more difficult for one particular organism to get out of control in your tank.
