Yup. That stuff they sell in gardening center that is listed as "orchid mix" is, for the most part, coarse coco husk chunks

You didn't ask!! Lol
Btw, make sure you wear a respirator or at least a kerchief over your breathing passages when crushing charcoal. It's nasty stuff.

lol you know there is such a thing like creativity! And brain too lol just because im so smart i have a strong ziploc bag for that, putting stuff in, and here you go, that one to Bill, that one to Paul, that one to whoever annoy me more lol alternating you know. And after you have charcoal powder and you are feeing awesome! Highly recommend!
You still need to put powder in a soil without inhaling itsome creativity again and you are good to go.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
I can envision this. Bags lined up, Lija has her hammer in hand "coarse coco huh Carlos? Here's your orchid bark!" Wham!! "Hey bill! I got your substrate filter right here!" WHAM!! "And you Paul! I'll get you too! And your little dog!" WHAM WHAM WHAM!!!

Bill, you got it right!
LYYYYYYYYNNNNNNNNN! Hey girl im working very intense on that powder! Dont rub it in, yeah i know you all have it and can ship and get frogs anytime you want :cry: ( lija carries on sitting in her hole under the leaf and crying)
nothing is available hereperhaps for people like me that is a good thing! But i will be using coco husk, i have a brick left after last tanks cleaning day.

i cant believe it Lynn..... Really??? When you go to the store and see plants what does normal person think - thats right you are thinking if it is good for your tank, or the other tank, or then one you are gonna build after that. Now when you see charcoal, what do you think? Yeah that's right
i think we are all normal, how it is our problem that everyone else is not?
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
I'll tell ya.......funny stuff goes on round here !

Lol not so fast fellas, i'm down in anticipation of my tank coming home with me tomorrowHopefully the guy wont mess with me, he dealt with me 2 years ago, still remembers lol
hey Lynn funny part (me building it) hasn't started yet
Im getting isos and springs today and more plants ( blaming it all on you), and leaf litter and i hope nothing else. Im going into very dangerous territory of dart frog breeders and they live not far from me.
I still cant get any wood i likeOh here is a question since i cant find anything outside, what out of commercially sold wood would work? I can totally steal smth from my geckos tanks.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
Haha! You're gonna have darts next!!
I am very sad for you that you can't find any wood you like![]()
Commercial woods sold would be manzanita, ghost wood and mopani. And if you are lucky, you may be able to find some cypress knees available

Next question
orchid bark is fir bark not coco husk, ha!
Is there any difference between fir, cypress and cedar bark? They look the same. Are all safe to use?
Dart frog people were not available todaydarn

You are correct m'lady, I freely admit to being wrong. I was told long ago that it was coco.y apologies for providing you incorrect information. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?
Well, they are all conifers. Obviously fir is safe if it is in ABG. I know cypress is safe because we can use cypress knees in our tanks. And I just don't like the smell of cedar, so I don't care about that onemy guess would be yes to fir and cypress, but I thought there was something toxic about cedar??

Who said anything about putting it all in a soil
how soil should look like ( pic may be?) it is not like potting soil, right, visually lots of bark, right?
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
Right!
I know, crushing stuff is therapeutic.
