He goes by "plantbrain" on plantedtank.net, not sure about here. I don't think he posts over here much.
And the 10g is only bare bottom because it *is* a QT after all, the driftwood was to seed some bacteria, and the hornword is to soak up extra nutrients. The tank was not really cycled when I set it up. I put the wood, the plants, and a handfull of bio beads from my 40's canister in it to kick it off, then bought a small bottle of Quick Start for $3 at the same time as the fish. It all seems to be working though, as there still have been no casulties and the tetras are doing well.
