    Hi @Luis, Just an observation. Put more water in the tank with the clippings. The leaves should be submerged. They will dry out like that.

    Give me about 2 weeks and I'll have about half a bucket of clippings. My tank grows wild at the moment.

    Oh dear, that is a huge amount of fish to add to a tank at once. Increase your wc for a few weeks and watch your ammonia and nitrite levels carefully
