Sorry guys for not updating. Trying this...View attachment 939304
Put in dose according to bottle a few days ago. Still have leaves in the AC110. Doing a water change, but here's a pic

Color doesn't look much different, going to see how much it takes to get it nice and dark after I fill it back up. Haven't noticed any change in Ph, so I should be fine adding more extract. Pics to follow in a little while.

Have you noticed in mood changes w/ the fish since adding the leaves?

They are definitely more feisty. I can't put my hand in the tank without my bass or oscars trying to take a bite. They seem more confident all around, no increased aggression towards each other.

Not sure if it really shows in the picture, but I added a double dose after the 25% WC. Definitely darker than it was before.

Cant wait to see it. I was just thinking about removing a bulb from each of my fixtures on the tank. But I have a 48" beamswork led I could use on there. Now you've piqued my interest! This is getting good!!

Before

After

It's difficult to photograph the difference but I think you can see the difference

Definitely seems dimmer. All I did was, i bought a $10 roll of 20% car window tint and taped it into the beamswork lens. So now it's only letting 20% of the normal light pass through
