I looked into doing a MTS tank but I didn't want to search all over for the ingredients. I don't think I'll have any issues with the soil just noticed in the past using the same PFS that if the stems are thing that they tend to float.I have several mineralized top soil tanks, but never followed D. Walsteads method. With MTS soil tanks, the soil put down first in the tank is wet soil, then cap, then plant. When planting, you do have some soil that "leaks" thru to the water column, but it is dissolved, so it does make the water a little cloudy. I've found it clears up w/in 24 hours. Once the soil in your tank is completely wet, replanting shouldn't be bad. I replant all the time...it's not a big deal.
OH, and btw, your tank looks fantastic, can't wait for it to fill in.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to think tank progressing.Awesome, pap!
