Yeah, I have been hearing from a lot of friends that they have been having reactions to cleaning supplies bought in stores. A friend of mine even ended up in the emergency room from an allergic reaction to cleaning with bleach! So I am a big advocate of the natural! Besides, most of the things you need are already in the home! I also understand about cleaning so many tanks! My fire-bellies are in a 10 gallon tank which I skim every few days and do cleaning about once every 1-2 weeks, besidens them, like I said, I have my crickets in a small (1-2 gallon maybe) tank and I regularly have to clean out there food that I feed them as well as the stuff I put at the bottom to help decrease the cricket smell! Then I also have another two 10 gallon tanks, a 30 gallon and a 50 gallon. On top of that I have 3 kitty litter boxes to keep clean- so I hear ya on wanting to keep maintenance at a minimum. Let me know how it goes and what you think!
