Hey guys- this post is actually about geckos, but I think this forum is probably the right place to ask. Here's my question, I've made a tank designed to house Uroplatus geckos. In the tank is a home- made waterfall that draws its water from gravel at the bottom. Over the gravel is a few inches of Bed-A-Beast. Here's the mistake I made: when I planted plants in the Bed-A-Beast, I forgot to take out the little fertilizer pellets. I'm afraid they may have seeped into the water. Will this kill any geckos I might get? Thanks! Brooks

I think the fertilizer may leach into the water and harm your geckos if they drink it. I would remove the plants and rinse their roots and get as much of the fertilizer out as you can. Hope this helps.
