    wtb slate

    Forget the Stone Store - they are really expensive - try Maisel Brothers Inc at 16 8th NW Ave, Glen Burnie, MD - again you can come in and pick put what you want - they will sell stone for about $5.00 a bucket - that by the way comes to almost exactly the same $0.05/pound that Irwin sells for.

    I too use old sponges or used filter cartridges if I have time to set up a new tank and let it cycle for a couple of days (minimum) but when I need that tank immediately I use Drs Foster and Smith "Live Nitrifying Bacteria" - and often just add a teaspoon (for good measure) to each 10 gals of...
