I have not used peat under sand/gravel, but I have placed it in bags/stockings in a sump. after 6-8 weeks, it smelled like sewage to me. the display and sump sump didn't smell but when changing the p.moss, it reeked. I used the typical fine mesh filter bags and also knee-his (cut to size). it required a good bit of rinsing and did not sink readily. I weighed it down w/ rocks in my sump or hang on filter.

yes it did. I used the peat with the hope of lowering the ph, the next morning when I saw the tank, there it was- stained water.
