Black water set up

burntrubber · 18-05-2017, 02:33 PM

Hello, anyone here with black water set ups to share? Recently inspired by some amazon biotope tanks on the net,I cleared out a 5ft tank add some driftwood, sand and pebbles. then I koped KTP leaves from QH carpark and spammed the tank with it. That was 3 days ago and the water has a slight yellow tinge now. Fingers itchy to go LFS and scoop fish. Will be mainly tetras and small catfish.

How do I maintain the KTP leaves? Do I have to change them or leave them alone?

Generally my goal is to have a cool looking tank that is relatively low maintenance.
