Re: Some new garters
I don't blame you one bit for not wanting to have a waterfall in any more displays after such terrible losses.
Just for discussion purposes, I'll find out more about the UV light technique. The way it works is that the UV light creates bonds (cross-linkages) between the DNA of simple organisms, which doesn't let them reproduce and ends up killing them. It can also create cross-linkages on human DNA, but we have better repair mechanisms than microbes. This is how the sun causes skin cancer.
In order to use such a system, you would have to make a separate area where the water could be treated (like you did below your terrarium), and it would have to be out of sight, so you're not looking at the UV light when it's turned on and working. I'll see if I can find any information on prices.
Finally, I would love to see more of your amazing terraria.
