The Fraternity of Dirt

[Gatekeeper]

There are many methods out there using a type of "dirt". I use mineralized topsoil personally, but I am venturing into trying the miracle gro organic "stuff" very shortly. I have seen some nice tanks using this stuff, may as well try it!

It just started this week. I was using a little bit of excel for a few weeks to combat the algae

[1aqumfish]

I would try root tabs and trim away any dead roting leaves. I does seem too soon for the soil to be used up, has anything changed?
