BAT Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I read online that IAL can breakdown after a while and contribute to water problems. How long before this happens? Can you leave them in until they start breaking apart? any guidance appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) 1 week has been the general rule. Some break down faster than others. I've decided to make IAL tea with 1 leaf 1x a week and I fill my bottles part of the way with the concentrated tea and fill it up the rest of the way with plain water. It's working pretty well for me so far. Edited February 18, 2022 by xXInkedPhoenixX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 if you have shrimp and snails, just leave them in until the break down completely. if you are just using them for tannins, id say 1-2 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
