All,
Following the sticky on this forum, I bought 90 pounds of soil and started the mineralizing process; completing 5 full rinse/dry cycles and then adding the other components and OMG that's a LOT of work. I had the kid put the soil in the tank and fill it up with water, and I don't know if it was 16 year old work ethic and haste to get onto myspace, but the tank got so agitated that the water is plain brown. I have a hang on the back filter running but it didn't make a difference last night.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe I didn't get the right clay to add into the process, because I had to bake it and then crush it up. Or is this cloudiness just a normal part of the process if it's really stirred up? TIA -
Rob
