Red face Peat Filtering Question

Hey guys,

I was woundering if anyone out there is running peat filtering?? I just stated a few days ago, and thought of a few questions. How long does it take to turn the water fully amber, or black?? And how much does it take to really do any good. I have it going right now, but didnt put much in the bags. My water out of the tap is about 7.9 PH, and 250 ppm hardness. Im not really in this to soften the water to much, for one thing my water is to hard anyway, I just want the angel/ discus tank to look more like a black water tank. My water is turning kinda gold, but has only been going for 2 days. I have noticed the discus and angels are eating more, and showing better colors. Im not sure if it is from the peat, but something is triggering this respons. Pics would also be great, ,

Michael
