On FB I saw a video of nems in those aquarium planters. The were suctioned cup to the back wall. Nem was inside n clown was in it too. Weird concept but cool to see. Lost the link sorry.
Agreed this hobby can be a PITA at times. Patience is the key and logging things down helps. I try to log new additions, testing, maintenance, etc. This way when things start to go downhill I can look back and try yo see where. Sometimes helps others not. Four months back I had Dinos nothing...
