I will get the camera out.

Wow! Looking back through this thread. It is hard to believe it has been over 3 years since we started the renovations on the house. Some of it is completely finished, a little not. Some things we decided to change again.

Pretty much anything with a textured or roughened surface. So if you have something smooth, just use a scotchbrite pad to roughen it. I usually tie it with dark green or black thread and by the time the thread dissolves into nothing the moss is well attached.

freeze bottles of water and float one in the tank or make ice cubes of treated water and float one or two in the tank. However many you need to lower the temp to their comfort zone.

I have play sand in my frontosa tank and they do just fine. The rinsing is very important though. I remember when I did mine. I put the end of my python in a 5 gallon bucket and poured the play sand around it. Turned the water on to the python on low and left it.........for 10 hours with taking...

minimum 2 weeks treatment AFTER you see the last white "salt".

Thanks!

Contact your city water to see if they have changed anything they add to your water. Chloramines is something most declors do not address. a good point about the silicone. Also have you added any new decorations? wood? artificial plants, "houses", etc?

Are you on city water or a well? Do you use a declorinator when you change water?
