Hydrogen sulfide can be wicked stuff. Also, when diluted in water it becomes hydro sulfuric acid.

We could talk for days on that issue alone.

It should be noted that this is quote from a friend of mine who is considerably smarter than I. Lol. We've spoken at length in this exact regard.

Man, you really do like Allan don't you?

There was a member that mentioned putting Mangroves or other plants with roots into the DSB to help break up that zone of nasty towards the bottom of the DSB. Is this a good idea? Sounded good to me when i read it.

the mangrove will out grow your tank after year or 2 then what try and pull it out might crash the tank with what ever is down there
