It’s National Fish Pharmaceuticals which is why you weren’t getting a hit to it right away. You can probably find Acriflavin in a smaller package elsewhere.
Their smallest size, 19.2 grams, appears to cost $34.+ http://www.fishyfarmacy.com/products.html
DOSAGE: 19.2 grams makes 1 pint. Five drops of this stock solution per gallon of aquarium water will treat […]
I usually leave algae on the back glass or any that I do not view my tank through. Algae is part of nature’s way of helping to keep your tank clean of nitrogenous waste… they are single celled plants after all… so they are not bad to have.. just some folks don’t like looking […]
Thanks Lenny. I am mainly concerned if the sodium thiosulfate will accumulate without having chlorine/chloramine to react with. I’ve not been able to find anything on the web about this. It is usually stated to use a dechlorinator if you are using tap water to do PWC, etc. This is to be used as a precautionary measure against […]
I would think it’s fine to use. Basic dechlor’s that treat chlorine/chloramine and heavy metals have been used for a long time with no apparent adverse side effects. If you haven’t seen me post this before, either API’s Tap Water Conditioner or Top Fin’s Tap Water Dechlorinator are two of the most […]
Someone did mention it as a base. If I am not going to place lighting right on top of the tank, plexi would make a nice cover, otherwise, I’d go with glass cut to my specs–one covering about 2/3 of the tank top with cutouts for airlines, filter, heater. And one about 1/3 to use […]
Bill,
You still have the chance of water spilled seeping under the Styrofoam, mo matter what form factor it comes in. You do also have that likelihood of just having a bare tank set on the wood surface. Face it, you are dealing with water in a container here. Sooner or later, the water will spill […]
When I lived on the second floor of an old farmhouse, and had ready access to hardwood flooring, I laid down the flooring perpendicular to the extant flooring (may have been hardwood, but looked like pine) against what I hoped was a load bearing wall (the rooms were larger than the age of the house […]
Had your water parameters changed at all?

You say that you rinsed the java moss. Exactly what do you mean by that? Just rinse them in plain water? Gave them a bath with an alum solution? Potassium permanganate?

I prefer plants and have always had them in my tanks. Recently I bought a couple balls of Java Moss for an established tank. I received them and they looked great. I rinsed them off and put them in the tank. Within 10 days, my three black kuhli loaches lay dying […]
