High5 BRILLIANT idea . The 5 inch landscaping edge they sell is PERFECT . I read this yesterday and did not sign on but I called the gardening place I go to . They had brown in stock but getting black this Tue . This is exactly what I needed but I never thought of it . I am going to silicone it as that will serve my purpose but I have to wait a bit since it is rainy (pure humidity season) . I am picking it up next week and it will certainly keep the soil out of it . Thanks

Chibikaie, Insurance will cover it but because the guy who hit him had no license and no insurance , the owners of the damaged vehicles will wind up paying out of their pocket as far as higher premiums . Miami is the #1 city for uninsured drivers and though I have never been hit , everyone I know who has been hit by uninsured drivers had to absorb the cost of being hit . High5, What S. Florida are you in ? Lol . This place is the top 5 for uninsured and hit and run .

color, Thanks . I would have thought that bit to cold in your parts to keep them out all year . I think you get frost now and than?

Was he drunk or he thought he was in Miami ?

How many clip ons would you get for a 20 long (30 inches long) , imagine 3 since each is 10 inches ? The mounts work well but my filter prevents one side from being used as the filter sits on one side of tank thus couldn't use even with mount.

Thanks everyone . I should have noted that I wanted to increase its height because when it pours , Mud, etc winds up in that "pond" (I siphon it out) and was looking to increase the border height to prevent this . Acrylic or some type plastic looks to be my only option and silicon it on the border . I am going to look online and see if such a thing as curved pieces like High5's pic as that would be ideal.

I have this on the side of the house . It is two 40 gallon pvc "pond" frames stacked on top of each other . It serves its purpose as a little place to add extra hybrid shrimp and some unusual colored platys . I would like to increase the height by about 6 inches . I was thinking of searching for some type hard black flat PVC I could silicone on the 1 inch frame border . Could this work or forget about it?

Colorfan. Hard to see in the pic but you use regular potting soil? Poormanisme, I'll take a pic this week in what I planted my new sundew plants in .

Mikey , I take it you use a pro-system not DIY?

maypfly, Thanks they certainly are nice looking . I cant wait (hope) my seeds take . I had larger green types before not this type. I did not want anything large this time but more so with color. poormanisme, I planted two different small pots with them , sun all year long is no problem here . I am going to put one in sun once they sprout and get going .Thanks

Doc, Sorry to hear this .

Thanks the lay on top wont work because my filter is on the side and I wont change that but this looks like something that will work. I emailed the company a question yesterday .

Buddha , They have been using them in Europe for fish food for awhile now an invasive species which seems to breed rather nicely in captivity . Too bad impossible to find in a culture .

wicca, I also keep anubias but yours is a very nice one . What type lighting ?

Taylor, The seeds take some time to get going . Can take 12 weeks . I planted some like 3 weeks ago and nothing yet but I recall last time it took awhile. mayphly, I just planted pitcher plants from seeds . Do they take as long as VFT ? Your jar has no draining holes? poormanisme, Do you keep them out of direct sunlight ? I had a thriving bunch which died but have read that some keep inn sunlight , some don't.

Doc, Lots use dry bamboo uncoated and yes it will slowly decay but I think we are talking years .

Shaun, Oh that is scary how did it get in?

Thanks . I heard of the company but did not think their clip-ons would work on rimmed tanks . I would need 2 for a 20 gallon long but that's not bad if they clip on . Going to research them .

I love purigen or chemi-pure but I NEVER add them to my shrimp tank filters after I rinse them out. I have found that inverts do not take this well . I place them in a container of water for 24 hours prior or better yet run them in one of my fish tanks 24 hours before putting them in shrimp tank.

s4.postimg.org/x9bsmrsql/037.jpg Doc is this what you want to do ? I know dry bamboo uncoated works. This is not my tank just a pic of dead bamboo in a tank .

Subtle, lol yes they are . Good size one's wash on shore after heavy rains and winds . I like them but once they beach , they die.

Bamboo is often used in tanks with fish and shrimp and harmless UNLESS it is treated . Worse case it might leach a little but with any type of media in the filter it is no worse than driftwood . Several pet places sell real bamboo type "walls' that separate substrate , bamboo bridges , etc .
