I really like the cork log you have in there. I use mainly EcoEarth and I know if I get one and put it in there, it will mold within like a week or less.
One or hopefully two Clypeatus
Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.

I never had issues with molding, but a boil in saltwater always helps mold growth.

I never have issues with mold either - I use 100% eco earth and my tank is packed with wood, cork, grapevine, cholla. I don’t bother with saltwater boils.. do have a massive isopod crew, though :o
