I noticed the mouthfu Doug, but have read this a few weeks too late. C`grads! I would be worried about the roughness of the besser brick blocks though, or have you sanded them right down? Fronts can spook v wildly and a rough brick could do a lot of damage. (easier ways to harden water).

Hi Winston

Haven't heard from you for a while. I've been using the half besser blocks with fronnies and other fish for a few years now without any problems. I use them as they make great caves and are easy to get a grip on and lift out when trying to catch and strip a female, even if they are covered in slimey gunk. I hadn't given any thought to whether they would assist in hardening the water, if so that would be a bonus.

Cheers, Doug
