BUMP :)

Thanx for the welcome and the link! I was searching for the wrong word, looks like I missed that one in the search. Polak

ok, so ive gone and bought some fert with iron in it, and all the other trace elements that are required. I bought a kh test kit, turns out my kh was 8dh and my ph 7.8. I tested all the taps at home, and turns out the one I been using has a water softener which actually hardens the water...

My convict seems to have a problem with its... well it has a wierd sticking out anus :( Im not sure if this is a problem, but the other ones dont have it. This one is around 8yo so could be old age, however i have some GT's which look as though they might be getting this aswell. Has anyone...

Oo ok, i generally just add a bit more than required for the amount im adding. Perhaps I should add more. I never realised just how much water can change on a monthly/weekly/daily basis as a result of filtering at the treatment plant. Unfortunately here in Adelaide they add chloramines as...

Ok I have a question, might sound a bit odd but ive been thinking about it and trying to come up with an answer. When you add your water ager to remove either chlorine or chloramines, do you add it before adding the water or after? The reason I ask is, im wondering how long the WA stay...

I'm studying to become a pilot - 1 flight away from my commercial exam!!!

turning 23 in less than a month!

thanks, the rhizome isnt covered, i have the anubias quite high from the substrate on bigger pieces of driftwood. I dont use any fertiliser, nor do I have co2, so looks like thats the path I will go down. As fur the nutrient/fertiliser, is it just the iron I need? Polak

Hi, I have several different species of anubias in my 230gal tank, which seem to be slowly going yellow. What does this mean? are they getting burnt, or are they deprived of something? I have a 6ft light on top with 2 rows of lights, i think from memory in each row there is a 3ft and a...

I dont mind the tea colour either, but my tea colour is a very very dark tea colour - which personally i dont like so much. The wood is still in the tank, however its too big to boil. My tank is 230gal 6ft (2.5ft in height) and I dont have a pot big enough for it. The LFS told me that it...

Yea I didnt think the chemicals were too good an idea. I went away after my last post and washed some carbon and added it to my sump - ill see if it helps at all. Ill also step up the water changes. Thanx for the quick replies! Casper, my surname is actually Mazurek - I just sign out as...

lol oooh no I was hoping there was a miracle cure... actually speaking of, my lfs said theres a chemical you can add to clear things up. Generally I stay away from adding things which arent absolutely necessary, has anyone used something like this before? thanx for the input, I think Ill...

Hi everyone, Every since Ive added driftwood as my main decor in my tank, the DW seems to be leaching tannin into the water. The wood had already been in a tank when I bought it, but it took me longer than expected to set the tank up and the wood dried up. I do major water changes every...

hi, I had 20 convicts, 2 green terrors, and 2 albino tiger oscars in a 4ft tank and the convicts kept bullying the oscars, and I had to seperat them (eventually they died). The green terrors were ok, but were getting nipped at and seemed stressed. Since I put the convicts and green...
