    Just as the title says, My BT nem split and I'm looking to remove the second one from my tank. I cant break the rock work so what other methods are there?

    • Putting ice on the foot of it will get it to release
    • Using a power head or turkey baster to blast water at the foot
    • Use a dull piece of plastic -credit card, plastic spoon, etc. to slow work your way underneath the foot
    Whatever you choose, it will most likely be a slow process about 15-20 min.


    Also, if you need a new home for it, I will volunteer!
