WELCOME TO NJRC!!!
Several tangs and the slow growing xenia would be perfect.

Was thinking a cuke "nuking" may also wipe out the fish - but it wouldnt cloud the water to my knowledge for that long.

when I'm in doubt - I try aquatic-obessions...at the least he could order the media for you - but i'm guessing you want it "now"...so that doesn't help. Perhaps post a Q to him on their forum?
a work in progress...that sure is nice!!! My "work in progress" right now is sitting empty behind me...waiting for the funding to appear (or the ability to bump my hobby up the list of household "projects").

Where are you located? I'm not familiar with the equipment though I'm sure someone will chime in shortly. The reason I ask about location is that there are some preferences on LFS - but it doesn't make sense to send someone in Bergen to a store in Jackson...
if you are trying to insert a jpg from photobucket, there are two ways to do so:
1.in photobucket, choose the IMG code (third line under the jpg), then in this forum, just click paste...
Or...the two step method would be to choose the Directlink (second line under the jpg), then in this forum...
SOunds like you have experience with FW (cichilds arent the normal beginner fw fish). Is your tank a FO? I think losses do come to even the best of us - and I don't think you should discourage yourself. With *Some* people, it may make sense to stop purchasing anymore fish to just do a check and...
