Silicone+eco earth question

Where would I find cultures for isopods and spring tails?

and if I had something in a tank that wasn't planted and did have any of those little guys would they occasional hot rinse keep bacteria from building g up on it?

Joshsfrogs has them on occasion. So does Neherpetoculture. Check the marketplace on the dart frog forum Dendroboard - there's usually someone selling them. It's also a great place to find more info.

The only bacteria you need to worry about comes from droppings or dead insects that are not promptly cleaned up; or if you keep things too sopping wet in there. As long as you stay on top of that, there's no need for any rinsing.

Sweet thanks Brian, i spot clean for feces daily and don't leave feeders running around my tanks so no worries there =) I'm adding a hydro ball layer to my pacmans tank and am in the process of making a hill-ish kinda thing that is gonna have a small stream that wraps around to his water dish to add a little extra humidity
