Hello and welcome
Cant be worse than what I'm breeding. When are they coming? I am going to be selling starter cultures so it wont be enough to sustain fry for very...
I would rather not. I'm not ready to ship anything as yet
When I am ready I will put them in sealed plastic containers and post them to you. I will put up a "For Sale" thread and anyone interested can PM...
Hi, I do have. Six cultures currently rotating and 2 more that I started a week ago. The 2 new cultures are for me to harvest for sale as I have...
Enjoy some time off and rejuvenate that passion, all the best
The micro fish probably dont produce enough waste, especially if your tank is as heavily planted as the picture you posted. Is it the flourish...
I agree with @DoubleDutch. If you have no livestock in there and therefore arent feeding its probably due to not having enough nitrates or phosphates
If you have a test kit for nitrates you can ensure that you keep the level at about 10 ppm and don't let it drop to nothing. Potassium nitrate is...
From my understanding cyano bacteria occurs when the phosphate levels in a tank are too high. If the tank is planted what can happen is that the...
I once kept shrimp in a tank with no heater, no lights and about 5 cm of water when I was between houses. They lived like this for 4 months. I...
I am not sure exactly how much can be used but it acts as an anti fungal and has other medicinal properties. I think quite a lot can be added...
Crushed coral/sea shells are basically calcium carbonate. At a high pH this stays insoluble in the water. If the pH drops then it dissolves into...
They are not linked to each other. pH is a measurement of the -log[H+]. kH is a measurement of your carbonate hardness (carbonates and bicarbonate...
If this gives you a pH of 7.4 then I would trust that unless your indicator is really old. Chemical pH measurement is a first principle...
Is it test strips? The best way to test the pH of RO will be by chemical means and an indicator.
Welcome back. Tank looks great. Empty tank = so many possibilities:)
I have been thinking about this. Personally I feel unless you are a breeder looking to breed a particularly difficult species of fish it probably...
yes RO water allows you to more easily alter pH and to get exact water parameters but it is also more work. Tap water is good enough for most...
RO water will not lower you pH as you need to introduce H+ ions to reduce pH. RO water is normal water, just without buffering capacity - meaning...
