I did the bubble bowl method. I would love to try the 3d printed kriesel at some point.

Do you know what the link is to hermit house for the USA membership? The one I followed is broken?

Great job and I'm so proud of you! I know it is hard. I last a little more than a week I believe.

I need to check that out! Thank you, I am sorry I missed that!

My mom has a stock of freeze dried veggies and fruits. I want to use them to make a DIY crab mix. The bags are all air tight. I opening a few bags and realized, once opened the stuff inside gets a little soft pretty quickly. I know I'll need to add a calcium source and a protein source. Any ideas? :...

I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and I am still struggling. I have 3 PP. They are in a 100 gallon tank and a 40 gallon tank. I just want them to go to a good home.
