Not sure if this should be in DIY or Technical. Anyway....

Has anyone tried this?

Or anything similar that would be beneficial in the same way, without buying expensive stuff like JBL Aquabasis.

Experiences? Trials? Results??

Would like to know :D

I want to use the idea for my tank as I have been givin some top soil, and would be cheaper to make and layer in my tank than buying something such as aquabasis.

I raed ?somewhere? that , to mineralise soil all you need to do is select your soil, wet it thoroughly, spread on black polythene or equivalent, to dry, (then break it up as much as possible to dust) then repeat 3 or 4 times, and hey presto mineralised soil.

I guess the point is to drown anything living in soil, and wash away the organicy bits.
