Self-cleaning, that's a good one. But you know what they say, necessity is the mother of all inventions....or something like that Hey Jay, what kind of sand do you use? very fine powdery sand?

You like that one huh? I also have one about a super fast cooler. Like a microwave only to make things cold.

Jen, ever tried dipping something in Liquid nitrogen? it's a nice "cooler" ....I remember dipping crackers in it and munching on them to breath fumes out my nostrils etc...heheh yea one bored researcher

Liquid nitrogen huh? Sounds cool! Just don't accidentally dip your fingers too!! I'll bet if you used something like that though, that idea could be possible. I'm sure there's a couple of ways to do it.

Hey did your water ever get really cloudy after a partial water change? I cleaned the debris off of my gravel in my tank and replaced the water,(even though the PH was normal the gravel was filthy), and a couple of days later, my water is really cloudy. I hate to do another water change and disturb whatever clouded it the first time, but I also hate to use chemicals. When he was in the small tank, I would just clean the entire tank out, and scrub the gravel. But now instead of 10-20 lbs of gravel, I have 100 lbs. That is something I'm not looking forward to tackling!! LOL

Jen

I have used both kinds of sand. I like the fine stuff better

Jen,

I've used the Clear-water stuff in a bottle, that said clears water in 4 hours, worked pretty good and it's safe. All it does mainly is 'stick" small particles together so filter can do a better job at grabbing them etc....or just do a big bottom-vaccuming and big water change
Jay, fine sand sounds cool, i was worried about it blowing all over the place with the oscars making too much of a commotion....
