    I just started my 90 gallon saltwater tank, all that is in it is the sand and rock. One of my potted plants fell thru and now I have plant soil in the tank. We cleaned out as much as we could, but not able to get it all. Do I need to start all over or will it be okay? Thanks for your help.

    If you got plant soil in your tank, watch your levels, generally house plant soils have fertilizers in them like miracle grow (packed with Nitrates, Potash (not sure what effect this has on an aquarium) and Phosphate. I don't know what will happen, i just know soil generally has a lot of nutrients in them.
