[coral keeper]

Thanks!! The recipe i use is made up of water, sugar, and dried yeast. Its those energy saving spiral bulbs.

It was a fiber glass screen the ones thats on the out side of your window to keep the bugs out. I got a large peace and put some java moss on it then i fold it and then i make 2 holes for the 2 suction cups then i sew the 3 ends of the screen then place it in your tank then your don. Its not metal, its fiber glass.
