<p>just had a look at the aquarium journal section and it would suite this post perfectly. If only I notice that section before. I dont think a lot of people visit the blog section on the site.</p>

<p>I'm glad you find the thread helpful. The only problem I had with dirting my tanks were that it's hard uprooting and planting new plants as the dirt will get distrubed and make a mess, this way by using the bag will retain the dirt from being distrubed and making a mess. I have to move in a few weeks too, so the tank will be torned down once again. Hopefully this time I can get some peat in their as that was one of the layer I couldnt get my hands on for the mix.

<p>After reading your posts I am sold on dirting my tanks using your bag technique. I am moving on the 15th and I have to demo My 45 and 20 gallon and transferring them into 2 55s. Opportune time to dirt the tanks and use the old substrate as a cap. Thanks for sharing an incredibly helpful step by step!</p>

<p>Right hand side, the growth is not as lush as the left. As you can see that the Polysperma on this side is a bit leggy as I have not yet cut back the stems, " wanted to show how these where before the trim".</p>
