But it seems some just float to the top of the water...making a mess of the tank. Just wondering what is the best thing to do with it. Regards Mango |

I'm using the most ridiculous type of mesh ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's a pic with some older and newer Riccia. You can seee how it grows and will give you an idea of the size of the netting. Works a treat never had a single piece float away in a couple of months. bensaf attached this image: ![]() Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. |

You posted another pic of that tank and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what they heck they were ![]() And [link=here's a pic]http://www.cottonblossomcrafts.com/mesh_bath_sponge1.htm" style="COLOR: #FFCC99[/link] of the mesh sponges we're talking about in case anyone doesn't know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

Try to get one of these spongy things. Save some money - check your wife/mother/sister/girlfriends room first ![]() ![]() Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. |
