Default ROARK:Box-O-Plants

I have been out of the loop for several weeks doing stuff and week before last I was at the Joint War fighting Conference in VA Beach. Sooo... i have collected quite the BIO mass. It is a virtual jungle in there....

So

a SFRB for $5
a MFRB for $11

I am not going to label or separate them. Most of these came form Cillplants which i also got as a grab bag;

I have more than i think people can use but i would rather pass it around then trash it. also i would be grateful if people could identify what i send. I can farm the stuff but i have no ability to identify plants....

let me know who is interested in what...

Yeah ... how DID the auto doser work out?

Sorry don't need the additional plants ... just spent a good bit of time mowing down a small jungle of HM of my own.

As far as the Auto dose system i must say it was the best purchase i have ever made for my tanks!

Have you thought about doing a photographic series or a video about putting together an auto-dosing system for the general public? Might be a neat project. It would certainly be more confidence building to those of us who are unsure about what to do exactly, or at least, what to get as far as quality components.
