I'm wanting to switch up my 120g to a dirt tank but I know I'll have lots of questions along the way. Hopefully this can help someone else in the future as well.

Does anyone have experience using this dirt?

Yes. Get an airstone and change water often. The organic materials in soil require lots of oxygen to break down. Thats all you need to do.

Try not to disturb the substrate once the plant’s are established. If you need to do a water change straight after. This will alleviate problems with ammonia release.
