Tannin Aquatics Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 One of the discussions I have a lot with customers is, "How many___________ do I need for my _____ gallon tank?" And that is a great question, because the best answer is, "It depends." Yeah, not a particularly helpful answer, huh? Seriously, there are a ton of variables involved in figuring out how many of a given botanical you need. And I think it starts with asking yourself a series of questions. Most important, you need to look at just what you're trying to achieve. In other words, if your goal is to mimic an Amazonian stream bed, replete with lots of leaves, seed pods, and other botanical debris, you probably want a fair amount of "coverage" on the bottom, so depending on the size of your aquarium, you may want to utilize several of each of the botanicals you have in mind. If you're just looking to add a few random "Savu Pods" or "Jungle Pods" to your tank to act as a shelter or breeding location, then 2-4 specimens should do the trick.
