C. I. Basic Green 4 is a synonym for Malachite Green Hydrochloride which is a synonym for Victoria Green which is a synonym for Aniline Green, etc., etc.. They are all the same thing with different Trade Names, according to registered MSDS sheets… as long as the CAS number is the same… so when […]
You mentioned “Bio-Med” for your AquaClear… I hope you meant BioMax http://www.hagen.com/usa/aquatic/product.cfm?CAT=1&SUBCAT=114&PROD_ID=010134 00020101 … I don’t know what “Bio-Med” is as far as filter media for fish. BioMax is something that can be run in a filter system and left in the filter forever, just rinsing/swooshing it in some removed tank water each time you […]
How old are they again? They are still pretty small by goldfish standards but it’s promising that they are growing so hopefully any stunting might be reversed. All of the PWC’s that you’ve been doing has constantly diluted/removed the hormone levels, that cause stunting in fish, so their hormone receptors think they are […]
Sam,
While I concur that vinegar is the best product for cleaning the hard water mineral build-up, I wanted to point out that Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) is not as dangerous or alarming as you implied and is often used in aquaria, ponds, etc.
The kind that most people buy at their local drug store is only a […]
Hi John, Hydrogen peroxide is a poison to all forms of life. If you don’t believe it try drinking some (not really). After all it only has one additional oxygen atom in it’s composition from water. Also keep in mind that this harmless solution was the investigated cause of the sinking of a Russian submarine […]
HP and salty water are good for disinfecting but I don’t think they are as good for hard water mineral buildup.
White vinegar will help soften and remove hard water buildup and is easily rinsed out after using. Any residual vinegar that may be missed during rinsing will not be harmful when diluted in the […]
Pimafix is the antifungal. Melafix is an antibacterial product.
If the tank is new, the mold is not uncommon and will eventually die off as the ecology of the tank establishes itself. I’ve seen this in the past when adding a piece of driftwood to a new tank and you can find countless postings […]
Isn’t Pimafix the fungal (vs. bacterial) one?

Hey everyone, I’ve been battling with a mold issue in my paludarium for a while. I think I posted here with questions. I was thinking about spraying down the tank with some melafix(diluted of course) since it’s an antifungal and claims to not hurt plants. Another idea was rubbing the affected […]
