Sorry for the interrogation - my profession compels me!

If you already posted that inventory before, I apologize for not taking a minute to go look it up in this thread, but thanks for detailing it again. Some good thoughts on the feeding plan. I need to come up with something different for my BG as opposed to buying nightcrawlers and cutting them up or grabbing miscellaneous bugs from the yard and dropping them in. Besides, the bugs aren't going to be around much longer anyway!

I'm wondering about crickets from the local pet store or even little feeder minnows. BG will eat minnows, won't they?

One thing you may want to consider for cleaning the glass in your tank is those magnetic scrapers. One half goes inside the tank and the other outside. When you're ready to clean, just slide the outside magnet along the side of the tank and it drags the inner magnet, which usually has a sort of cleaning pad on its against-the-glass side, and, voila, it wipes the algae off the tank. When you're done, just move it to a corner where it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb and there it stays till you're ready to clean again.

Thanks for answering my multitude of questions!
