@Swagasaurus not familiar with planted hobs but you are implying that you are removing nitRogen from the system. So in effect you are lowering the...
@Swagasaurus. If you look at the graph I posted. You tank is producing nitrogen carriers at a set rate. Initially ammonia, then nitrite then...
I am myself amazed at how well the whole thing is working. Granted the tank is at 75% stocking levels and I have a massive sump filter. The set up...
It does take into account tanks size as it is a percentage. 50% water change means 50% reduction in toxins... Stocking would effect the rates but...
Water change? What is that? My continous water change sees nitrates steady at about 15 at the moment. It fluctuates but I am on about a 50% daily...

When I started shopping for a tank i quickly realised that bigger is better. I don't have much experience but from what has been said I would...
That is what I am trying to find out. Internet searches are inconclusive.
This has been debated and debated but there are several sources i trust. Dirk (Prof) and Stendker (40 odd year discus breeder and respected). Both...
Hijacked topic but don't chemically rid your tank of snails. You will not know how many you really have until they are dead and decomposing in...
I have been put off feeding beef heart by the horror stories of hormone and steriod treatment of SA cattle. Dirk has been unsuccessful getting...
There are a lot of threads on what to feed Discus, but how much. I am talking about adults here. And I am going to answer the question with the...
:bigsmile: You guys are like a bunch of discus at feeding time!!! :embarrest: when are you ordering again?
