Sooooo.....i was at the lfs getting some water and i was looking around and saw a toadstool leather. Never really been into leathers but this one was GREEN! I thought WTH why not. From everything I've heard as far as requirements i can meet plus they're hardy as hell. So here are a few pics of it. Take note i just got it yesterday

and here is my ric i picked up a few months back all white and about the size of a penny. Really colored up blue and is splitting!

any advice on the green toadstool or are they pretty self explanatory? I do know i should watch for the shedding the leathers do. Thanks for looking!

Well i did it again..... was just supposed to get water and a wooden air stone. But I saw this guy and had to snag him.

I have one of those canisters as well, always though I'd set it up as a faux carbon reactor or something. What do you have in yours?

Some filter floss, CPE, & purigen.. clean it weekly so no junk builds up.

Looks nice! Did you make that skimmer? I just got one that fits the last chamber nicely. Very stinky skimmate.

Yes made the skimmer (mame style )..lesd than 3" diameter!
