    Remote deep sand bed for freshwater?

    narr see thats the thing, I let them go for gold, ive even seen them up to their eyeballs in sand. So if they do, its giving a greater aerobic zone, pushing the anaerobic deeper.

    Deep Sand Beds for Freshwater tanks

    oh yeah, there's the tipper, 24hr operation bud. Milk that sucker for all its worth then feed it your compost heap. Ive only investigated it for Saltwater, however one would think the same principle applies.

    Deep Sand Beds for Freshwater tanks

    been away for a bit so coming in alittle late. The front glass sections will always be darker, yes it may the anaerobic zones showing signs of activity, however dont forget that diffusion will be greater at the trailing edges of the glass, that and its also subjected to more light.

    Is Skynet online already?

    Its kinda inevitable for our species, hitting the Technological Red Wall alone would be enough to blur the susceptible lines. Typical though, its those experimenting that have the greatest chance if something goes wrong, cause they are already aware of the risks. Leaving the rest to deal with...
