Hello, complete newbie to dirted tanks here, so please go easy on me x). Anyway I have a spare 10 gal that has pretty much 0 use atm, so I'm thinking about trying to dirt it (and then probably raise fry in the planted environment).
Questions-
1) Can I just use normal gardening dirt? Any restrictions at all?
2) How will the water run clear? Should I rinse the dirt as I do sand? Filter floss?
3) I've heard something about cycling dirt... is this true, or am I just in need of a hearing aid?
Thanks!
