I used a scoop to remove the eco-complete. Job not perfect, but I got down to using a rag to get the last parts, my thoughts was I wanted to get as much out, like rinsing the gravel to get the dirt out.. Did not have a wet dry vac, and did not […]
Couple of additional questions
1) you wrote you “removed the Eco-complete” can you explain that more. Was there still some in the tank? I reason I ask is that you are the second person in two days to mention eco-complete in a tank that had high ammonia even with One & Only.
I looked up […]
I always do my rocks in the dishwasher on sanitize, no soap. I got yelled at by a guy on a forum once who said one rock chip and goodbye dishwater motor! So at your own risk.
However, the dishwasher does not remove algae.so scrubbing is still required.

I was just reading my most recent edition of TFH (Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine), the February 2009 edition (why do magazines come out one to two months early anyhow?) and in the Q & A section, someone asked about the difference between store bought driftwood and the kind we might find in the wild.

Unless you are teetering on the edge of having enough oxygen in the tank to support the fish, which, from the video’s I saw you are not, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, live plants will take in O2 at night and release CO2 in turn, it is not normally enough to upset the […]
I skipped over DebR’s question earlier this morning (what the heck am I doing getting up at 4 AM when I can sleep late?). Algae is a primitive plant, probably the most primitive we are likely to see up close and personal. It is often the first plant to grow in aquaria, even if we […]
From what I’ve read on algae build up (as long as it’s the good algae build up which is greenish/brown) any amount of it is good, as it does the same thing your live plants would do when they clean the water by removing fish waste and all that. My betta […]
I agree about computers being like socks, LOL. I get computer withdrawls if mine is out of commission for awhile. As far as a comparison between Angel’s and Ram’s… My Angel’s remind me of sharks, they lay in wait for their prey, I sometimes imagine the “Jaws themesong” playing when they’re hunting for […]
All the reports from the various suppliers around here will at least reference the use of chloramines, if not show an actual average measurement.
