Sweet! The most natural way to start up is by using botanicals, such as wood, bark, leaves, and seed pods. The website linked above is my personal favourite place to get most of those, aside from my own personal local fish store. You can let them float at the top of your aquarium until they sink, or boil them for a short time to quicken the process, but either way, as they sink and decompose, they release tannins into the water, creating that gorgeous tea stain. I also prefer to use bottled tannin extract to add to new water during water changes, but that is entirely optional. The botanicals release enough tannins to make up for it eventually, I just like having it around.
