First, a brackish water tank will naturally have a higher pH than your other tanks simply by the nature of the water. You do not say how you are making the water brackish, the specific gravity of the water in your brackish tank is OK. You should use a good quality marine salt, as you […]
Turbocoupe76 said… among other things: “…I was told that running a fast current in a tank helps bring up the PH because it makes the Limestone(buffer) that the county LI, NY puts in the water, evaporate. Is this true???…”
Limestone would buffer up the water and increase hardness allowing the pH to increase or at least […]
I started a brackish water tank with a 3/4″ bumblebee goby and a 1.5″ male guppy. They are in a 10 gallon tank. It has a small rock cave and a couple of plastic plants and a 5″ long piece of black rigid tube from an old canister filter (use as a […]
All the reports from the various suppliers around here will at least reference the use of chloramines, if not show an actual average measurement.

Actually the funny part was any LFS or box store I called didnt have it in. In Suffolk County there is one central Distribution center that most of the LFS buy from. If they dont have it no one does. Companies dont seem to like to distribute to Long Island because of […]
I haven’t had to dose drops of dechlor in a LONG time but if I remember correctly, most of the dechlor bottles sold for small tank owners have the one drop per gallon as a dosage… right? It shouldn’t be harming the fish, if overdosing of dechlor is done on occasion, but you don’t […]
The Delaware County Aquarium Society is probably too far south for you, but here is their site: http://www.dcas.us/modules/content/
Bucks County might be a bit closer for you: http://www.bcasonline.com/
