 | pantyhose and....? |
incubus70  Fingerling Posts: 36 Kudos: 31 Votes: 3 Registered: 10-Mar-2005   | I'm trying to get a list of alternative DIY supplies and items to cut my aquarium expenses (leaves more cash for fish). Any suggestions are welcome.  Also, I know pantyhose is pretty good to use as a carbon bag, how do I tie it off? I'm not willing to take a chance with an elastic band. Thanks for the tips. |

I have used elastic bands to tie moss on to drift wood with no problems, and also for tying food onto a rock for bottom dwellers. Don't worry about it.  You don't really need to use one if you don't need to though, just tie a knot on the end of the pantyhose.  |
