I got some Indian almond leaves and was wondering do I just put them into the aquarium? Also do I leave them in their once they start to decay? My lfs said they don't start to soften the water till they begin decaying. I want the black water look
 
Great thread.
 
I simmer 4 leafs about an hour and add 4 cups to 90 gallons. Check pH in 24 hours an add a couple more cups to lower pH and darken water. Like I said a little experimentation is needed.

PS use about a gallon of water for 4 leafs.
