Went into a gardening store today coz my daughter needed something for school. Scored a 5lt Hydroton (Leica balls) for 20bux (R80) equivalent. Honest with my 500g ceramic rings were almost double that and the name is in Chinese lol.

Anyway safe to say I grabbed 2 and tomorrow going to throw them on my filters. The 704b has a whole tray that's empty basically that I just out an extra sponge just coz there was space in it. The overhead box filter has tons of space too. The 302 on the fry tank is pretty full but I will still try getting some in there and give everything a rinse while I'm in there since it's not been cleaned in a while.

Question on Leica though. How do I get it tank ready? Does it need hit water? I noticed they came kind of moist so I'm not exactly sure what to do and I'm actually glad it's moist coz then there's less dust from friction. Any help would be appreciated

 

Okay. I currently have it soaking in a bucket. Looks like Coco pops lol

Will leave it over the weekend and change the water every day until it clears up.

 

So glad I am off. Going to spend the day really "relaxing"

 

Excuse the poor resolution and surplus of Algae’s but these little guys have become one of my recent fascinations he’s maybe 20mm long at a stretch and will be taking up residence with my latest apistos from [mention]Chandz [/mention] which are fantastic! In their own black water tank soonish

 

Been away for a few days and it felt like a whole years worth of threads on the forum. Nicely done guys.

On a positive note, one of my fish were terribly bloated when I left home and thought she was not going to make it. Turns out she's doing better and looking a little thinner than she was when I left. Tomorrow will try to get her to eat some food with metro and if she doesn't I'm going to have to use a syringe and get it into her. Hoping she gets better soon

 

So I just made an interesting discovery - at Namibian hardwood you can buy mopani wood for aquarium use for R28/kg, BUT if you buy bags of mopani wood for your fireplace it only costs R85 for an 18kg bag!
So if you're not too phased about picking out exact sizes and shapes for your tank, one could easily buy a bag or 3, pick out the ones you like and want for the tank, and then burn the rest!
