    i finally got around to trying a scrap piece of that black sticky vinylused to make signs on a 10 gallon tank. except for a few air bubbles i need to take care of yet it turned out real nice. i am now planning on getting more of it and using it on my new 45 breeder's back, sides, and bottom.

    Shy gold nugget. I want to see him more.

    I realise 5-7 days probably isn't going to hurt it but should we starve you out to make you do something you don't want to do! Imo no pet is perfect and the tendency of plecos to hide is there down side. If its comfortable and feels like comming out it will, if it doesn't why should you force it...

    Anyone have a clown pleco W/O driftwood in tank?

    if its only going to have one piece to munch on try to make sure it a softer wood (not one of those hard sinking types) as its easier for them to chew/eat. they may not eat wood as fast as larger royals or L204 but they do eat a noticable amount.

    Can I use this as decor?

    bleach is a risk that often need not be taken. the remainder of degradable materials left in the wood and the type of wood are of much more importance imo them disinfecting the wood. if the wood is to "fresh" it will be cause a significant rise in waste and if the wrong type of wood the...

    Biomax surface area for 325 gram box. Holy %#$& !!!!

    its all about the surface area of the particles/pores not the surface area it can cover when whole or crushed.

    Can I use this as decor?

    I wouldn't use bleach it gets in the pores of the wood and can discolor the wood, just clean it up real good and soak it hot water for a while. the main concern is its decomposition under water if it wasn't completely "drifted" and didn't come out of a bog. the places that collect drift wood...
