I like it... I'm no chemist either, I don't understand alot about water chemistry. What I do know is this. Going from a pH of say 6 to a pH of 9 which is basically our scale we use for aquariums... 9 is 1000 times more alkaline than 6.

I don't really fully know how TDS and hardness come into play though. I think obviously the purer the water, the less TDS, therefore the less gh... however as you add more and more TDS your pH would rise just from the minerals and such in the water at that point. So in theory as the pH rises the TDS rises, and the gh follows suit. Hopefully a water chemistry guru can elaborate..

The thing I am not sure of is how TDs is effected by ph/gh. From my limited perspective it seems like the TDs shift purely based on ph/gh may be significant enough to kill fish. Otherwise it would be something else that kills them in a closed system I guess. I do not have a resource to bounce my questions off of, but I would be curious for an explanation related to osmotic shock in relation to TDs and shifting ph or gh. I have many questions, butthe more questions I have the more I consider seeking out a degree.

Hey,
Sorry I'm joining in on this late and not sure if this has already been brought up.

Just got a motoro stingray for a wicked deal. I figure right now that the store was underfeeding her, 3worms once a day. I gave her 2 in the morning and 3 at night a day after I got her and she has darkend in color. She's still very friendly.

Just concerned with her slowing down, not as active as she was when I first got her. Could it be just she's used to the tank and is now settled?

Still eating just not as feirce now as she was, probably due to the store only feeding once a day.

Sorry, forgot to add, I didn't pay attention to this until now. Are they always looking like they breath heavy?
