Necessity is the mother of invention or as you call it 'bodge job'. I myself am a huge fan of bodging.
It's "botch job", and "botching". A bodger is a skilled craftsman who produces legs etc. for chairs by turning green wood ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodging ). I only know this because it used to drive my woodwork teacher at school mad if anyone said bodge when they meant botch! Mx
Since reading about Rooibos tea I have been putting the bags in my tanks and while water changing I pop in a fresh one, I like the stained coloured water, and I'm sure my fish are benefiting too But, is it ok to use them continuously like this?
Thankyou!Yes I think so. A LFS near me uses tea-bags all the time for their blackwater tanks
