Have you ever dropped a nail or screw in the tank and forgot to take it out?

I always. I found many electronic bits an piece in my tank.:shhh: Just yesterday, I dropped a wire bit (oh no, copper in the wire) in the tank when experimenting new LED lighting. No sweat, I took it out.

Yeah back in boston there were people that dosed Iron and said it doubled the growth rate of their cheato. But this is just on their word alone, I never actually saw the before and afters.

Yes both iron and manganese will greatly enhance the growth of Chaetomorpha. Two Little Fishies has a new supplement that supplies both.
