| Other Details |
| Other Information: |
Cleaned hatch out tank with bleach, then sodium thiosulfate. Rinsed once with freshwater, then with system water.
Pot placed vertically on bottom of tank. I put the airstone in the center hole of the flower pot almost always. It helps keep the airstone from hitting the eggs and hurting them. Have it on high during hatch (1hour), then turn it down low, but leave it in the pot till morning. Flower pot removed in am. |
