I didn't do anything special. I wouldn't use the CO2 with herps in the tank, but I think that guy didn't have any herps in his tank at the time he used the CO2. Sometimes mushrooms will have been developing mycelium for a long time before the fruiting bodies show up. Some species may grow underground or on bark for several years before fruiting, and others may show up shortly after planting. Once in awhile, I see a few centipedes--they sort of come and go, but I rather like them. Those I have just seem to feed on organic matter.
Where was that CO2 post? I can't remember. On Frognet? I'm always a little leary of trying stuff like the dry ice CO2 due to the fact that it may also kill off some organisms that are beneficial to the biological balance. But it does seem like the safest way to get rid of unwanted insects in a tank without herps. I wonder if it would kill slugs.
