Every day I hear more stories about lousy water supplies - both wells and city water.
For example: Miami-Dade in 2006 was reporting 2.1 - 2.7ppm chloramines.
Our local Superman (a KHA) has noticed that his water in NW greater Atlanta went from a steady 7.4 last year to 8.2ish currently.
The Des Moines Register had an […]
I wrote about this before but included another question and I don’t think this one got answered (or I missed it somehow on digest):
Are Cory Cats bottom feeders? I have Juli’s and Emeralds in different planted tanks. Both my 29 gallon and a 10 gallon (again, planted) have cory’s in them, but I […]
Bill, I trust what you are telling me and I checked that link out yesterday and it says I will need 207.43 teaspoons in order to have my kh at 80. If I add that much well the 1/3 or 1/4 and then wait 4 hours will this not the cause the […]

It’s not good to mix medicines unless the directions on the meds say it’s OK like with the Maracyn I and II. I know API tests their medications and say they are OK to use with each other but when you start mixing brands, then you could be playing with fire.

The original Bio-Spira actually had three nitrifying bacteria strains… nitrosomonas, nitrospira and nitrosospira. You need more than one strain to fully cycle a tank. You definitely need two strains.. one to eat the ammonia and one to eat the nitrite so I’m not sure where the third strain comes in but I know […]
Below my sig is the reply I got from Marineland a few weeks ago when inquiring about Bio-Spira. I see that my email reply references a product called “Start Right” but since there was already a product called Start Right on the market, I presumed they decided to change the name to Safe Start […]
I put this aside to reply to last night, but never did get to it.
Well fed fish in well maintained aquaria can go 14 days without fresh food being introduced. For your short sojourn, you should be just fine, and come home to a tank of hungry fish. The water change before leaving is a […]
Hi Amy, Thanks for clarifying; I just didn’t connect the reference at first — my bad, I guess I should have, but was sincere about my not catching your drift right away. You’re right, in that some aquarium literature states that Bettas only need a square inch or so […]
