Didn't Christel also say that the soil poops out after a year or two? Which reminds me of some recent didactic discussion on the memberlist. Everything you say makes sense to me.

If it turns out like the drawing category, we can just drop it next time. sh --- Karen Randall <krandall@rdrcpa.biz> wrote: > . . .Scott, you heard Christel say she ALWAYS uses soil > substrates, and says she > doesn't have to add nutrients to the water column for a > LONG time.
