How do you use a coco brick?

[Jordanhunt]

Hi, I bought a coco fiber brick yesterday to set up a tank for an ornate pacman frog, but I don't know how to use it, I'm only using 160 grams because its only a 7 gallon tank, how much water do I need? Do I use boiling water? And do I add it to the tank when it is still wet?

you need to prepare dechlorinated water, put your brick into anything that would hold water, i use plastic tubs for that. then dump a lot of treated water on a brick usually you need about 1 gallon ( 4liters) for one brick give or take. basically just keep adding water until a brick expands, then take as much as you need and the rest you can leave for later.
welcome to the forums by the way, please do not forget we love pics around here i personally can't resist seeing a lot of pictures, the more the better, especially when we talk pacman lol
