Im using this to dirt my 55g as of now im letting it soak in a bucket and im removing big chucks of wood to reduce tannins. Im gona take my time with it and try to wait two weeks. Im hoping by doing this i will lower the ammonia levels, because i dont have enough plants to "bare the load". Im trying to be patient, and i hope this works out. My current 55g has a number of fish. When the dirt is ready im gona have to keep this fish in a bucket . I really hope i dont lose any plants or fish.

going to dirt.....

55g dual t5ho using root tabs and liquid ferts i was using flourish excel but im lowering the dosages . My jungle has hardly grown in the past two months . A couple plants sent out runners but no growth other than that. I recently cut them down to two inches to see if that helps....
