Creating a Blackwater Habitat

OK, I'm half way there. Here's the right half of the tank with 2 bags of leaves. The first was added last week and all are on the bottom. The second bag was added earlier today and most are still floating. It will take until tomorrow morning for them to sink. I've got a 3rd bag waiting to be added. By tomorrow the water will be even darker as the tanins from the 2nd bag enter the water. As it is I had to open the curtains to let sun shine on the tank so you could see the fish. Unfortunately it made for some bad reflections. Sorry about that...

I almost wish some of the leaves would remain floating as I like the looks of them.

you can boil the oak leaves before . They sink immediatly and you kill parasites that can be found on the leaves and prevents fungus .
