Thank you hrdwodflor. I will post more updates when it grows out I panted a lot of clippings from my 20gallon long in here and they have done fairly well. I am hoping that the glossostigma starts filling in more.
The PVC pipe is just a small filtering unit I made. Directions are on the first page. It is a very effective filter for a betta tank because it creates almost no water movement and is a combination of biological, chemical and mechanical filter media.
Thank you Sean. Yes i designed and built it after watching a bunch of youtube videos on DIY sponge filters lol. Over here in Hawaii we pay more for everything because it comes from the U.S. Black PVC pipe is not in all of the hardware stores and when it is it is always double the price of the white (I think because it has higher heat tolerance). I agree, it should be black and I thought about spray painting it, but I did not know what sprays were safe off the top of my head and I was way to impatient to wait and research what was doable. My plan is that I will paint it next time I clean it. Do you happen to know any safe paints to use?
you live in Hawaii... thats so cool. I live in SoCal... ill trade you, haha! I went to the big island when i was like 9, id really like to go again some day!
I see, i hadnt thought about the cost of the PVC over there. Krylon Fushion paint is widely accepted as a aquarium safe paint.

Thank you for the info I am going to buy some tomorrow. I once lived in Central California in Salinas and in Santa Cruz. California is a beautiful place but Hawaii is my home. These islands are very special place and have the ability to please many people, I am very lucky to be here. But yes prices do suck.
