Re: EDIT: Picked up a DP today! Pictures :)

anyone know what i can do to restore the tank to its previous splendor, without taking it apart? the algae on the walls is dyeing as well as some of the long hair algae. but the algae on the DW is still the same. could i just get a group of otos to clean it up?

Re: 1 Gallon Pico Tank

your carnivorous plants should be in a container that has holes in the bottom. otherwise, it will have no drainage and it will not air out correctly ;)
