Well had a interesting day today. Yesterday added some salt, not enough as specified but used all I had. I also put some limestone rocks in to help the PH. Today I didn’t have time to catch one of the ailing koi to inspect it, so I put my second pump on to add a […]
Salt is always reliable to fall back on, in may cases, as a natural remedy. While I’m not advocating this additional additive as a sure- cure for Pop-Eye, some people also have good results using Epsom salts at a minimum rate of 1/8 tsp. per 5 gallons, progressively increasing it also, […]
I just bought some Java Moss from the Uni-Q that was selling it - he popped it into a zip lock baggie. It was nicely damp but not wet/dripping. The bag went into postal mailing bag for express mail.
Some people like to wrap plants in wet black and white […]
Don and Judith,
I’ve tried Melefix but never had any luck with it having any effect I could see. Salt has worked well for me however. I have a question about salt % statements though. This seems to mean different things to different people. I generally use 1 lb salt/per […]

To add to the nano cube […]

I might be out of line here, but failing means death to the animals involved, and not a pleasant one. It’s also why many people leave the hobby because they set themselves up for failure. Salt water […]

Hi Eric,
I agree with you. I prefer to run a group where all would be members need moderator approval, then are moderated long enough to show they are not a spammer or a troll. Much the same as you appear to do.
This group was run that way until it recently went down a path that […]
