    ph/ammonia issue

    Dan, Overlooked your good question. Seachem MultiTest - Ammonia will do the trick. Lamotte Ammonia -LM3304- will also account for ammonia removing conditioners, is easier to read but costs quite a bit more coin. Best regards, William

    Some new planted pics

    Zagz, The echinidoris flower is sweet. Never had much luck getting them to bloom on my end. I suspect I am a bit impatient allowing the runners to break to the surface. Discus tank looks good too. What size is it? Best regards, William

    If it were my tank I'd get an Eheim Ecco 2234 It's rated for 60 gallons but Gold fish are a messy lot and the over filtration can only help. Best regards, William

    A used 125 gallon

    Silicone I have used in the past is CLR. I resealed an entire 75 with one tube with 1/2 a tube left. You should be able to seal an entire 125 with 1 tube. Best regards, William

    On a DIY reactor

    Yes you can, just need to downsize the power head accordingly. A Rio 50 or 90 would be my choice depending on the tank size. Best regards, William
