<p>OK I want to setup my tank but not sure about the mix. I have everything on the list but here's my problem:</p>
<p>Miracle-Gro organic = 1-1 1/2"</p>
<p>Amaco red clay = 1 lbs for every 20 gallons </p>
<p>Iron ore = 10 paintball size per 20 gallons </p>
<p>Laterite clay = ? How much?</p>
<p>Carribean live sand = ? How much? Should I mix in with soil mix or should I add a thin layer on top of soil mix/ under gravel </p>
<p>Peat moss = ? How much?</p>
<p>Thanks so much for…</p>

<p>cool thanks im gonna start the soaking and water changes tomorrow or so but i gotta see how many inches of dirt will take to do a 1 inch deep maybe alil more if i use a ten gallon to measure it, im doing the math and im thinking it might take 3-3 3/4" deep inb the ten gallon to get it right, but like i said im still doing the math and maybe if i get some1 that its good with math i might be able to help me with the math, im just guessing through drawings hahaha im pathetic i know</p>

I still have a little tannis in mine and its been running about 2 months. But I left pretty much all the wood chips in the dirt. If you remove most of the wood chips I believe you will have less tannis. Sounds good in theory anyway.
