okay lets begin class (lol jk). You do not need a heater gaurd it just helps from breaking the heater glass, find something that is like a small dome to protect it from the wieght of the rock. I use a tent like peice of metal that sits over it, so the metal takes the wieght of the rock some hole near the top of the chamber and fill them with pollyfil. you will have to experiment with this or send mengash a pm asking where and how big. I use alcohol in a spray bottle to strerize the inside of mine use some peroixeide when putting in water to help clean it up, I did not use a ton but some will help you bake the geolite to sterilize it, you will have to do a search for temp and how long, I use lava rock in mine, cheaper and make sure you rinse the hell out of iy before you put it in GL and hope this helps, if you need more help pm me

I cut a Nalgene bottle down the middle from top to bottom, it makes the perfect heater gaurd.

1- I have read we can add fish tank heater but IN A HEATER GUARD. What s a heater guard ? The pics in the theard are broken about it can someone post me some pics about it plz ? it's just a little plastic guard that surrounds the heater. Like a small cage
2- Mangash said about the 2 holes for air exchange can someone post me some pics about it plz ? Make two 1 inch holes in the top. Put two rubber pieces over the holes with a screw or anyway that works. you can slide the rubber over the holes making them smaller or bigger depending on hopw much humidity you want. (most people don't even read that far in the tek and it still works fine for em with just two small holes.
3- How do you sterilize the whole inside of the pod ? With a water hose and anti bacterial dish soap.
4- Is h2o2 a "must have" or can we use simple water ? you can use water but better safe then sorry.
5- Do i need to sterilize all the water before putting on the pod ? Wouldn't hurt I guess but I never did it once.
6- Do i need to sterilize geolite if yes how ? Just rinse the dust off and use.

Quit teasing the rest of us with those beautiful pics Magash(lol jk) I wish I lived some place where you were able to explore your own mind and not have to worry about B.S. laws that make no sense and need to be redone by people who will not investigate according to what the group who pays thier budget says it should be. Sorry for rambling but sometimes I just have to let it out.
