cool.. this looks like something similar but i was thinking of a program much like chuck's calc, except it has the options of choosing brand named ferts.

Hi, I just bought some ferts from Kent , i think. And i remember there being a fert calculator out there that actually let you select different name brands of ferts so that it can account for different concentrations. i haven't had any luck finding it , any of you guys know the site where i can...

Anyone know any good webstore that ship plants to canada?

i 'm not sure if this has much merit but i have heard that actinic can actually increase algae production. In lowering the light not only are you harming the algae but your plants too.. and since algae tends to be the more resiliant of the too i bet it might even get worse. why not shoot for...

This idea is really stupid and just popped in my head so i thought i'd put it out there... you can throw it right back though :) Do you think there would be any advantages of sticking a multivitamin in an aquarium.. or diluting one in water and then pouring it in there...? Obviously fish...

Purrbox, i notice that those combinations of ferts from greg watson are very popular among the high light guys. how exactly do you does them? do you dilute them in water and then pour it into your aquarium? or do you make dry tablets that go in the substrate ? also, do dose them all in one...

this may sound like a stupid question but i looked around and couldn't seem to find an answer... what is bba ?

do you have pressurized CO2 on your 20 gallon tanks ? how much light do you have going to them. i have a 65 watt CF on my 21 gallon and am getting a lot of algae.. i'm thinking of making the leap to the bottle... do you have it rigged to a ph meter and an auto solenoid to control dosing ? and...

Hi all, I've had a 21 gallon planted for over a year and i am really getting tired of using my aquaclear 70 HOB filter. I don't like the way it looks and the way that flow is easily stopped by the most minute amounts of deterius in the filter sponges, causing the sponges to rise up through...

Anyone know where to get this stuff online? i'm specifically looking for the bio rio filter media and the lily pipe used to circulate the water back into the aquarium...i've looked everywhere but i can't seem to find it.

Hey guys i was just wondering what type of pleco would be good for keeping driftwood free of hair/beard algae.. or any other kind of fish for that matter. i was thinking along the lines of a smaller sized pleco ( no larger than 3" or so...) any suggestions.. ? thanks for the input! lui

Hello everyone. I've recently encountered a problem with my tank. it's a 21 gallon freshwater and it's being over run by small little snails. i have one apple snail but i don't think that these are his offspring as i didn't see any of its eggs underneath my glass top. any advice on how to...

cool, i've been there it's a pretty sweet place if only it were a bit larger. It's a bit far but the Big Al's on Dixie and Dundas in mississauga has some pretty sweet selection. Luis

it may not be much but also keep in mind that light passes easier through acrylic. thus, when used in SW applications the vibrant coulours stand out a bit more. Probably not a huge difference though. Luis

yup... i agree. my malaysian bog wood sank like a rock, it was pretty heavy too considering it's relatively small. Luis

ok so maybe more like : tank/filter/gravel: 250 new lighting: 100 plants/livestock: 120 maintanance supplies and food: 200 holy crap.. it's only a 20 gallon... what's wrong with me .. it's those damned credit cards.. they just give away the money all you need to do is sign the dotted line :)

ya i do have drift wood.. i soaked the wood for a really long time until the water was clear but now that you mention it .. would it be possible that the fact that my water is close to 90 F for heat treating ICH, that the tannins would more easily leech out ? Luis

so you just dump an arbitrary number of feeder shrimp in there and eventually they all get eaten ? how large are your clowns ? can smaller fish snack on these feeder shrimp?

dude, it took me close to three months.. and on occasion the nitrites still creep up just a little... hey patagonia i see that you're in TO... any good pet shops you can recommend? please don't say Pj's .. their yorkdale location is ICH infested! and their guys think CAE and SAE are the same...

i'm jsut crazy aren't i ? 8O

hey i was just curious if any of you out there had yellowish green water. it's not like a full blown algae bloom, i'm not even sure if it is algae related... but the colour is pretty unnattractive. not even a 25% PWC affects it much. any suggestions on getting that water crystal clear? TIA Luis

one hundred million dollars.

i was just so happy to see that my ammonia and nitrites were at 0 that i had to tell someone ! nitrates at 10 mg/l ! for all of you impatient people out there( like me) that want to add fish before completing the cycle, keep in mind that mine took close to 3 months to complete because i...

wow, all of this advice has been very helpful indeed. i must say that i agree with the opinion that if one method works just stick with it and don't try anything else. it's been roughly 4 weeks now @ about 87 F and i no longer see ANY signs of Ich. So it's time to start lowering the temps very...
