So I really want to put dirt into my 55 but I'm very concerned that the possible ammonia spike will kill my fish. The questions I have is this. If dirt needs time to leach ammonia under water, why can't I just put it in a bucket of water for a month. I would change the water daily to help it leach. Then after that I could put it in my tank cap it and bam no ammonia spikes in my tank! This seems like common sense to me but I haven't heard of anyone doing this. Tell me what you guys think of this idea.
