If I order 10, they're a buck apiece to my door. For $60 I can get 500-1000, that's why I ended up with so many, saved a lot of money and I have a year's supply! what would the world do without ebay?!

but heres a tip to get the most out of your leaves
heat some water over a stove and drop in the leaves.
think of it like tea. hot water will leech everything from the bag until either the leaves can leach no more or the water has reach full carrying capacity.
meiling;770616; said:Yeah, I've tried all the methods, I agree about boiling a pot of water, pour it over the leaves, when it starts to cool, fill the bucket with hot water and soak it for 24-48 hrs. Then you can pour in a little at a time, a whole bucket really darkens the water but it's like instant mellow Aro.
Fantastic idea! I imagine it would be good in the fridge for about 2 weeks, then for longer you'd probably have to actually hot seal or can it. Don't know how that affects aquariums, but what a great idea for when the tank and Aro are a little too hot! my temp crept up to 86.4 the other day and my Aro was doing backflips!Koji;770666; said:Add aquarium salt into them and stock them up in bottles in the fridge too.![]()
