Interesting idea....

I'm attaching this note to my posts: I know everyone is getting the "Could not insert new word matches" error; but the posts still seem to be going through. New threads can't be created right now, and I'm not sure why yet. Confused or Uncomfortable By the way, where the heck is the off topic thread??

I use Carefresh.

And in response to Littlefoot, you weren't alone! I couldn't get on yesterday either! :cry:

Didn't realize how accustomed I've grown to visiting this place each day!

Bring back the chat! Leigh, want to be in charge of the chat? Maybe you can organize meeting times or topics or something......we tried many times in the past, but the idea always fizzles out before coming to fruition.

The biggest problem has to be the global time scales mate, could you set up an icon {flashing maybe} to indicate the chat rooms in use, that way people would know it's worth a visit as someone's there.

Just back on topic - i use Recycled Rubber in one tank, Paper kitty litter in the rest (www.fibrecycle.com.au) and shredded paper for something extra.

Hmm, on Forum Index, it does display the names of everyone who is currently in the chat.....the time zones are definitely the biggest obstacle.

Our roommate got a BTS, and he used this hard clay stuff, then put a few loose softchips over the top. Makes a neat base that helps with toenails.

What kind of hard clay stuff?

Postby **Zach** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 8:46 pm

I think it's called excavator clay? Zoo-med makes it I believe....it's supposed to be used for making tunnels...like you pour it over a balloon, then it dries, you pop the balloon and it makes a neat little space.

What type of substrate do you use?
