    It is going to take a while for Lucky 13 to recover.

    Did not bother moving these crypts since they will be staying in front.

    How do you "crash' a tank, in this case 'unlucky 13" ?
    Akadama seemed to being doing well, then what happened ?

    No this was not Akadama - that is 4ft-rescape, that thanks is still doing great - even added some to 36 degrees.

    Unlucky 13 ... wrong bottle - 50% H2O2 makes a 4ft look like a bubble bath in 4 seconds flat.

    Lucky 13 is recovering - it is actually the home for my buce cuttings, was a bit of a job mounting them.

    Loads of snails ... hope they not munching on the buce - but probably are judging past experience.

    I see the illegal snails are evidently coming into shops up north fast.. so not great for the future of the hobby.

    Think is the the CT drought that is causing the migration?

    Must say they do not last long as cleaners ... maybe it is just my tank but once the food source is gone the vanish very quickly.
