    Med compatability

    Maracyn and MarOxy? I bought Maracyn because there is redness around some of the tufts. For some reason, not thinking, I bought for columnaris (?) but decided its more of a tuft of cotton meaning fungus. The Maracyn is still needed but I also need the Maroxy. I know MOST of the Mardel are...

    Lighting Questions for small tank

    I have a 6 gallon tank with a T5 15 watt bulb. I know that the wattage over a small tank doesn't break down the same as on a larger tank so I know I don't have 2.5 wpg. How would one figure the wattage? It being a T5 is comparable to a CF so that should up it a bit.

    Flesh eating disease?

    One of my dwarf gouramis had something on his lip. Looked closer and it looks as if his top lip is being eaten away. I have lost 2 Gourami in the past 2 months, but they had ulcers near the tail fin. I tried treating for bacteria and parasites using GelTek. I'm now using Jungle Parasite Clear...

    Dosing Ferts

    My plants look pretty good, better than I thought they would but even some of the quicker growers get a brown powdery algae on the old growth. No other type of algae except for some GSA on the tank glass at the substrate level. Not counting what I let grow on the back glass to counter any other...

    Questions about ferts and co2

    Is there a way to test how much CO2 Excel is putting into the tank? I'm assuming it doesn't lower PH to counter KH to make CO2. Also the water out of my tap is PH 6 and after it degasses rises to 6.8. Does this CO2 degassing get used by the plants or does it just disipate? It seems most...

    Dry Ferts and Sand

    When dosing dry ferts and flourish how much of it penetrates the sand and makes it to the roots of plants? Reason I ask is I never can remember to buy root tabs for my dwarf sags yet they've doubled in size since I started dosing. Also should I put tabs under microsword? What about bulb types...

    Question about DIY CO2

    Why does everyone use 2 liter bottles? Wouldn't you get a longer running system using 1 gallon bottles? Would using 2 one gallon bottles on opposite sides of the tank work on a 75 gallon planted tank? I plan on using excel and probably will till it runs out. How long do you think a 2 liter...
