Yuri--- You are very welcome. [I love posting to this list!!]
Carl Lerner neither made mention of how large his tanks were nor his placement of the baby food jar/TP setups. >From his description and photographs only the jars were filled with loosely packed >sphagnum moss...the TP rolls sat atop the moss and were empty. It is a two-page article. Post me off-list with your address and I'll be happy to send you a copy.
