They do the same things because the only difference is the concentration. NOTE: THERE IS A TYPO IN THEIR WEBSITE. IN THE DOSAGE FOR POND AMQUEL PLUS IT GIVES THE AQUARIUM DOSAGE OF ONE OUNCE PER 60 GALLONS OF WATER. THE CORRECT DOSAGE FOR THE POND PRODUCT IS ONE OUNCE PER 150 […]
Actually, one reason why I believed it is that apparently you aren’t supposed to just use table salt in a fish tank.
Why aren’t you supposed to use table salt in a tropical fish tank?
Can you use marine salt in a tropical fish tank, and if so, will it supply enough iodine for the shrimp at […]
Just thought I’d point out that although you do indicate the relevence of both the temperature and the pH in ammonia’s toxicity, it appears that, while pointing out the effects of ammonia in the pH levels in the 6.5 to 7.5 range may be beneficial information for the general membership here, […]
Lenny,
I think that the role temperature plays is in the saturation level for oxygen. The higher the temperature of the water, the less oxygen it takes to reach the saturation level. A lower oxygen concentration is known to affect the toxicity of ammonia to fish. The reason for this is that the ammonia affects the […]

In an up and running pond that is in good shape, there is no need to add so-called bacteria in a bottle as the existing nitrifying bacteria colonies will grow as needed to handle the ammonia from a normal pond bioload. The bacteria grow on surface areas of the pond but mostly grow in […]
PWC = Partial Water Change and you better do it!!!
Unless you get plenty of rain, doing PWC’s is critical to keeping a healthy pond or aquarium. It’s the only way to reduce the DOC’s, nitrate levels, hormone levels, etc. Each pond is different on how much of a PWC and how often […]
You do pose an interesting question here, about temperatures and fish in the wild. We will stick with the environment of the wild betas similar to yours. B splendens come from the Mekong Delta, and are found in swampy areas, flooded fields and some streams and rivers. They are generally found in quiet, still waters. […]
OK. Your numbers look good now and since you previously said they have been consistent, I’ll take that to mean that your numbers are always in these ranges. It’s great that you aren’t using any kind of unnecessary chemicals..
Just using a basic dechlor product is the best way to go although since […]
