Beautiful! If I didn't have a 30# piece of Mopani with Marimo all over it, I'd be buying this log in a heartbeat!

There's actually a thing called nitrogen sequestration that happens in freshwater tanks if the substrate goes long enough. The aerobic nitrifying bacteria in your filter converts ammonia>nitrite>nitrate, but there are some anaerobic bacteria that colonize the substrate and convert in reverse...

Tank and betta have been sold.

Still available. PM sent.

Bump, tank is still available.

Interested in selling a small 2.5 gallon tank. Interested in pickup or meet-up in the Bremerton/Silverdale/Poulsbo/Port Orchard area. Asking $30 Or Best Offer. Wife is changing up her office and we no longer have a home for the tank when she adds her extra bookshelves. Specs below: Tank...

I would say "free to a good home", but my wife actually likes Sir Arthur, so I've gotta convince her it's kinda worth it to part with him.

I've got a Fluval Spec III established with live plants and all accessories that I could part with for $20. Catch is, it comes with a betta (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle).

Sold. You guys missed out, the one and only bid was $35, and I couldn't say no because I need my growler chiller STAT!

For Sale: Fluval Spec V 5 gallon tank with built-in filtration compartment and LED light, submersible heater, thermometer, and all flora and fauna. In the tank: Fluotire substrate, spiderwood, Anubias Nana, Java Fern, and a blue male betta (King Charles). Setup comes with original box/manuals...

Use 0.1mg/gallon of fenbendazole (active ingredient in dog dewormer), I would suggest measuring out from packets of Panacur-C (yellow box), available at most pharmacies including Costco. I used it to treat a planaria outbreak, but it works great for any/all invertebrates.

I'll be sailing next weekend. I could meet you at the Edmonds marina.

What's your proposed route? If you head up by way of the Kingston/Edmonds ferry, I'd like to hitch a ride when/if you pass through Bremerton.

If you can put a dent in the wood using your thumbnail, chances are it's not tough enough and will break down and rot in your tank. I would do Manzanita, which is very similar to Madrona and is relatively local.
