Jenna-
I'm also for the lava rock, but bagged in pantyhose under my substrate for slope+nutrients. Supposedly it clogs in a filter pretty quickly, but it's so cheap, replacing it annually in a...

AC, lava rock, ceramic rings, quilt batting, dollar store pot scrubbers. The more porous, the more surface area, the more bacteria. Once upon a time, I stumbled on a fantastic list, but I can only...

A bleach dip ought to set the algae back, but I'm not sure if the moss is a soft-tissued plant, like cryptocorynes (I think). If so, don't do it.

Algae can't grow emersed, unless you've got it too...

Forgot to say to cook those vegetables just until they're soft. Figured you'd know that, but just to clarify... I'm incoherent to myself, most days.

Is the manifestation of madness traipsing throughout the house clicking your feeding tongs into the depths of the basement looking for meaty flesh?

Eden, if you're worried about the cost of organic fertilizer, use fish water. When you do a water change, dump some on your plants. Ferts you already have, even (especially) if you don't dose. And...

NICE. I was thinking of sewing fabric screen like small pillowcases to hold gravel for mounds, but doubling layers of pantyhose sounds good too, thanks! Tea and tank tannin water, no difference :hihi:
