surf board for sure. I stick the cuttle bone partially in the substrate within and behind dense plants. |

| I leave mine in continuously, but I do 20% water changes weekly. It dissolves very slowly. | |

Hi m3177o,
LOL! It is pretty light, it probably does float (I haven't tried doing that, bet it looks weird). As I indicated in my post, I put mine in my filter. | |

so i've been using this cuttlebone since the recommendation and i notice alot of calcium deposit on my tank.
i just stop using, i didnt see the different in the color. if there are any, it might be subtle difference. | |
