    red stuff all over tank

    no it doesnt wipe off easy at all.. in fact im unable to scrub it off some of the pumps at all. i do get some occasional 'slime' stuff.. but that vacuums out real easy when i do my water changes.

    are there more 'good' things that come along with the LR compared to 'bad' a friend of mine suggested that i soak the LR in cold water to make sure i kill everything, cuz he had a hitch hiker that was killing his fish.. dont quite remember what he had..
