Tannin Aquatics Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 One of the cool things I've noticed in our office tank lately is the unusual and unpredictable rate at which leaves will break down and decompose. It's weird; seems like some months, the leaves will break down very quickly, after just two weeks or so...Other times, we'll see leaves hang on for a long time- a month or even more. Magnolia and the larger Catappa leaves are particularly notable for this. I've had one Magnolia leaf that's fairly prominent in my display (the larger one in the center of the wood) hang on for well over a month now... I've noticed that some of the larger Catappa leaves (particularly the Sandaken, Borneo variety) seem to hang on longer than others. This is nice, because it is one less thing to think about during routine maintenance routines. (click to read more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
