Re: big killi newbie mistake
Cover all your tanks completely. They can and will jump out of dime size holes. My tanks are not on a central system, I use air driven box and sponge filters, the boxes are used because I can load them with peat for peat filtration in the tanks that need it. I also try to alternate plant spawners and peat spawners so if one does check the neighbors house out, they can usually be told apart pretty easily. Ann Rice fan? Ron
