Hi DC
This comment about a crime scene stuck with me and I've found myself pondering it on several occasions! Could you make dark coloured labels and write on them with a UV pen? You'd be able to read them with a UV torch but if they were black/brown/green they wouldn't stand out so much under normal conditions. Just a thought!

Your set up looks great, I have great admiration for people who can create such wonderful environments.

Came across these this evening, ordering some for my garden. Wondered if something like this might work for you? I'm going for copper as I love the look once it has verdigris but not sure if that would be ok in your tank? Probably be good on your roof 🤣

I really like the hardscape design. Good job!!

Thanks! That’s the one part I really felt good about. All the rest I am looking for lessons and such (lol)

I messed up a lot of the build process and how I will do maintenance but the look, I was instantly pleased with. Thank you!

They are pretty remarkable

They self regulate based on the food supply. When I notice a bit of algae or mildew the next week there are a lot of tails and then both are gone

Since I have a stout culture of them I have started adding them to a lot of outdoor orchids too.
