i'm sorry i meant to post this in classifieds can a mod move it for me please? :)

Hello everyone, I received(or should i say am receiving, the first one arrived broken in the mail) a Fluval EBI, and decided i wanted to try to dry-start a carpet of some DHG in the front. So if anyone has some they're willing to part. shipping is 32792

While I wouldn't be so positive to say without a doubt... Specially without a control or anything. You are dosing nitrogen which it sounds like the product only absorbs certain forums and I would guess youre dosing some kind of nitrate while the product says it removes the wastes before that...

yes anything that absorbs ammonia,nitrites, or nitrates will take away from plants.

Well I still feel that carbon is useless most the time unless youre medicating or some other specific reason.

i agree i was just reading through it and it's just that and sulfur and i don't think our plants care if there's sulfur or not. i just remember this be debated before some people were saying carbon would remove the nutrients and i remember reading it but i don't remember there being any evidence.

Do you all have Amy proof on this or just stuff you heard on here? Not trying to bash or anything but I never found anything definitive.

oh okay. do you know how long it'll last?

well yeah is clay but i thought it was hard fired clay like flourite and stuff?

why will it turn into mud?

well i started washing off some. it's incredibly dusty but it doesn't look to bad when wet. has a nice mixture of dark grey and rust. should look a lot better than bright white pfs and much better for the plants. does anyone know how long this thing will last.

mineralized topsoil

has anyone use this combo before? i tried finding sms and truface in charcoal but all i could find is aways away and it would cost about 30 to get to my local lesco. but the oil-dri absorbent would be much cheaper. does anyone have any pictures of the oil-dri in tank or any problems with it?

well unfortunately someone elsewhere already told me to put them in the tank so they're already in there. so now whats the best/cheapest to completely get rid of snails and algae from the plants when it's time to transfer?

okay so i just received a shipment of plants. but i haven't redone my 55 gallon tank yet so i'm wondering what the best place to do with the plants would be.
