Im pretty sure I understood what you said. I was able to pry it off with a razorblade. It came off pretty easily. How do I tell if it is messed up though?
Also, I'm conducting the water test now, and it seems like it's gonna hold upit holds just under 5 gallons. And I replaced the log hide with a bridge-type thing from the fish section of the pet store.
and those little balls under the log are hydroballs. still waiting to get mesh to separate it from the eco earth stuff.
