    Guys, guys, can't we all just get along. LOL. Couldn't saying that. Its good to see a lot of camaraderie on here. My brain, what is left of it, is still working on a couple of thoughts. First, last night I ordered bunch of stuff from Josh's Frogs including digit thermometer/hydrometer, 6 gallons of ABG, 5 gallons of Magnolia leaves, 4 branches and the MistKing Starter system. I figure there is no such thing has having too much ABG or leaves.

    Now comes the painful thinking part. As I was looking at the aquarium daydreaming of frogs jumping around, I noticed the aquarium needs to be cleaned. I almost went to the cabinet and got some windex but stopped. What do the veterans use to clean their aquariums prior to anything being put it? Will I need to clean everything (well not the ABG) prior to putting anything into it and if so how? Thoughts please, as I reach into my frog forum "tool box". Just kidding.
    I don't know what I don't know and can't fix something unless I know its broken.

    I just modified my order to include enough Josh's Frog's false bottom for several inches and some sphagnum moss. I talked with a local frogger who works at Petco and the local zoo. She was a great source of information. The stuff should be here by the weekend. I am totally excited.

    I use a water + bleach mix to clean the tanks. Roughly 2 parts bleach 10 parts water.
