My K leaves got no time to breakdown. My pleco likes munching on them. I used to have the leaves in a mesh bag when I had some monster fish and it could last a couple of months before breaking up.

But yes, expect a lot of debris and the wool gets dirty quite fast. But nothing a weekly siphon can't fix.

If you look at this website that does tanin products, they sell stuff like guava leaves, coconut husk etc. Damn clever marketing I must say.

Anyone else into black water? please share your stuff.
