    Fragging Leather Tree

    Yea pretty much just as you want to do it Meowzer. They pretty easy to frag up. Use a different container than the tank they are in, as they will through toxins all over the place. About an hour later you can take them out of the bucket and put them in the tank. Carbon would be a wise idea.

    Start up is the killer, not the maintenance of the daily use, if you ask me. =) But what the hell I know.
