i would bake it in the mic for 5 mins or longer if you like. then try to keep it dry when it is in the tank.

Once you get mites you will probably always have them, so first off relax. It is not the end of the world. There is alot of info. on the boards, start your search there. Then go to other T websites, and there is alot of them, they also will have info.. Basically they will all say you can control the problem, not cure it. Good luck!

best advice i can give you on baking is...Always remove the T before you bake the substrate and you cant make one big choc. chip cookie. It just wont cook right.
