Hello guys, as you know I've been preparing bubba's tank. I've walked into a problem this morning. Before I say anything, obviously I am going to clean the tank and re do all of it, but anyways the dirt I have put in the tank I noticed that this morning there is a tiny bit of mold.. already. Not even 24 hours have gone by.. I'm guessing it's probably the UV bulb is to close as it is way to hot in there for bubba.. husband was trying to help but now I shall figure it out myself.. bubba of course isn't in there yet, he's still in the incubator until I can figure this issue out. It was only mold on one little clump of dirt but I'm confused as to why and how do I prevent that.. I am at the moment, broke as heck... I'm going to be moving his tank so I can put the light farther above it so it doesn't get so hot. My husband told me to wash the dirt.. wash the mud and then dry it... How does one go about that without making a huge mucky mess? I'm not very fond of this idea [emoji52][emoji58] but if it'll work I'll try anything once to help Mr bubba. I am so irritated as everything I try to do backfires in my face and I have to redo it all. Maybe flustered is a better word for it. Anywho taking apart the tank and washing and redoing .. wish me luck
