I've received some metricide plus 30 and would like to begin using. What I need to know is how much to dilute it with distilled water to give it the same dilution as Excel. The glutaraldehyde percentage is 3.4 %. I believe a little over double of excel at 1.5%. Should I do 50% water and 50%...

I've mixed my fertilizers based on a calculator found online. Macros and micros. I've left it overnight and yet I'm finding one of the fertilizers is not dissolving. Did I do something wrong? I based my amounts on a 300ml bottle Macros K2SO4 -18 KNO3 -20 KH2PO4 -2 MgSO4 -12 Micros -24...

I've set up a 50 gal breeder a few weeks back loaded with the plants that I'd like to put in my next project (125gal dirt). Anyways I'm dosing with ferts that I purchased from a guy that I also got plants from. His bottles are labeled macro and micro. I keep both in the fridge. I have 4 39watt...

Over the next couple of weeks (I hope weeks and not months depending on budget) I would like to replace my 36 gal bowfront for this Hagen 30 gal with canopy. The lights under the hood are dual T8 bulbs 23-24" long. I would like to make this a planted tank and thinking of either Eco complete or...

I'm going to be setting up a 5 gal for my 4 year daughter. Specs I do know are the light is a basically DIY lead puck lighting that replaced the incandescent bulb that runs 4100k. I do want it planted. Need ideas for that. On top of that she has chosen pink gravel of course but I think that may...

My name is Ray. I began with keeping fish about 2 years ago when a neighbour gave us a 20 gal, I struggled with it for about a year then kinda lost interest but did leave it running and kept a few fish in it. I did a spontaneous buy and purchased a 36 gal bow front in the spring and struggled...
