I'm guessing that's because ammonia toxicity reduces as PH is lowered by Nitrite toxcitiy increases? I'm of the opinion that ammonia is blamed for many fish deaths when in fact nitrite was the actual...

UV will only kill algae / bacteria which is suspended in the water column. My experiance is it doesn't do a lot to prevent the sort of algae that grows on the glass. Maybe it slows the growth, I'm...

Brown algae can be due to excessive silicates. There are resins (like Seachem PhosGuard) which will remove silicates, you could try that. As you tank stabalised over time brown algae should disappear...

Don't you mean seller?I defn agree with 2-4, not sure I'd want to post all that personal information in a public forum - it's a spammers dream.

LOL :) Be interested to hear how it goes.

I like it, what's the plant on the right that looks like Bamboo?

Nice interface! I'm looking to build something similar, do you have a description of your system? I'm lookin for something wireless - I want to use a PC as the data recorder and control unit, and...

Hi,

Plants required carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium plus various trace minerals like calcium etc. You're providing the carbon from the Excel and the trace minerals from the Flourish...

+1 They're both very interesting and informative, for hobyists and professionals alike.

Hi

Melafix is a tea tree oil extract (Melaleuca alternifolia). I don't think there's any dispute that tea tree oil has anti-bacterial properties, for example testing byt Dr. Tom Riley and...

40ppm is pretty low! I'm sure 100ppm is more than adequate.

Dwarf chain loaches are better with discus and/or plants, they'll destroy snails but don't move as fast, don't destroy plants and don't appear to steal food from the discus.

I like the curvature of the forehead, nice!

I agree with Matt, very nice Turqs!

I've got a Sechem unit. I also had to buy a booster pump since my mains pressure was lower than the minimum required pressure (got it from Peter and psifilters as well).

You've got a nice little 'scape going on there. Good work!

It's based on the size of the eye. The rule of thumb is you should be able to duplicate the eye vertically along the black bar on the face and fit 7 1/2 eyes. It's not genetic so wont be passed on to...

Nice fish mate!

Sorry Steve :) Yeah my tap water is around 200uS to start with. I've not actually used my RO for a while because of that reason.

You can skip the RO part and just use the pump and hose for filling the tank. Use a garden hose to fill the barrel and then use a standard airstone and heater to warm it up and airate before use.

Diatom (brown) algae like silicates. In addition to the previous advice you could try something like phosguard in your filter to remove silicates and that may eliminate it?

They certainly do :(

I'd like to see you take a corner in it :D

Hi,

They're nocturnal so generally don't come out during the day although as they get older they do tend to get less cautious. They like caves which are long and tubular - hollow logs or pipes are...

Two things I would try - turn off the built in pointer device (either the nipple or touchpad) and see if that helps - should be Fn Key + F9 ?
