Question First Dirted Tank
I decided that a dirt tank is right for me because i'm lazy . So i started doing my dirt Mineralization cycle, when I started soaking it I noticed little white balls (i'm guessing fertilizer) floating at the top and really dark muddy dirt sinking to the bottom. I am using Espoma Organic African Violet Premium Potting Mix and am wondering should i removing the floating white things or not Thanks

The white stuff is perlite. It's used to aerate the soil. Take it cause it will float forever.
