Here is a pic of one of my tanks.

I also have a 36 watt pond master UV on the outlet of the 2217. There is a heater in the tank but it has been turned off for almost 2 months now as I have a dozen tanks in a insulated garage.

Breeding L075

Hello,

I have a colony of L075's which I would like to have a crack at breeding, does any know of anyone that has bred them? are they breedable or is this just a too hard basket?

If anyone has some tips I would love to hear and I will take some photo's of them and the set up soon.

cheers
Ben
