    blackworm culture

    i tried using brown paper bags but they break down too fast and i read that you can use burlap but what if i use something solid like a piece of driftwood or a coconut shell? it would be hard to get the worms out but would they be able to eat it?

    GE plant/aquarium bulbs

    i was at walmart yesterday and i saw some GE plant/aquarium bulbs. the labels didnt say much and i'm not too familiar with the ratings on bulbs (unless it's spelled out for you like on the bulbs in LFSs) so i didnt buy them. has anyone ever used them in a planted tank with success?
