So...cycling a tank as I type this. I did some basic research on planted tanks with dirt. From what it sounds like, it's a great way to feed your plants everything they need. I am considering it, has anyone had any experience with planted tanks with dirt? My biggest questions are, what to cap it with? Can I use sand? I've heard of Miracle grow organic is the best to use, is that true? If I were to go with a dirt based substrate, would now be a good time to do it due to the cycling of my tank? Or should I wait till my cycle is almost complete, or finished?
