Anubias Help!

FYI, fishing line with the exception of fluorocarbon line will photo degrade over time.. it is sensitive to light and will break down.
this is especially true with inexpensive monofilament lines.
I always use cheap mono when tying down java fern, moss and anubias.
thank you star_rider, i never for some reason thought of it that way. it makes sense but does take some time though i would think. i find these lines in such an abundance in parts of my local river that it is often hard to walk.

i, personally prefer spiderwire anyway. http://www.spiderwire.com/ well for fishing that is.

I'll be slightly "off topic" here.

;)

spiderwire is good line as is fluorocarbon. but these lines should be cleaned up when discarded(as should all lines) responsible fishers will clean it up.
you are correct it does take time much depends on time exposed.
I find in eastern washington line will last about 1 year.. with it breaking down in a few months (real weak)
that's why I use it in my tanks..it falls off after a few months and you can vac it out.
 
Sorry to continue off topic but...

What do you mean by: "should be cleaned up when discarded"?

Ah. I am in no way a fisherman, and was picturing someone literally wiping down fishing line... or something like that! :lol:
 
uhmmm
well actually in fly fishing you do wipe down the line
 
Now you're just complicating it! :grinyes:
Maybe i saw that somewhere on the teevee....
 
rofl... i didn't want to take it any more off topic, but i see where it has gotten to.
