Biohome plus in tank? Cos I got too much from my previous setups... just throw in for more BB to be cultivated lor...

Sponge at bottom is to attempt to cultivate anaerobic bacteria...

CPOs are peaceful little critters that will leave your plants alone unlike normal crayfishes. =) good luck in keeping them. they breed readily too
