My experience would agree with Siklidkid. It was said to me by a very experienced aquarium keeper that the extra levels of K actually increase the fertility of the fish. So looks like a win/win?

Hello Wriggler,

no because of the general probs - don't know where we will be, we are looking to have as little to store as possible. If we have to keep the tank then I will try to set it up...

We expect to be moving soon. Don't know if we will have a house for a while. So I need to sell up and hopefully will be able to start again.

I have wondered if the bacteria that convert ammonia to nitrate do survive when dried out. I had some driftwood (previously in a tank for acouple of years) that been in a shed for many months, and...

I think once they start you need to remove - will your LFS swap a fish?

I have had plecos, bristlenose with my discus for years, and never had a problem. I have a BB tank but with lots and lots...

The last time we made a meat mix, we decided to try kangaroo mince. The fish love it, and you don't have to do all that cutting out of stuff that you don't want from the beefheart.

You may need to check out problems with zinc content?

I use rainwater, but have concrete tanks, and find that you need to be very careful with pH crashes. I keep the kH at 2 and as well as using...

The wet/dry was my one and only experiment with Eheim.

I have tried two other brands of filter (Jebo and Otto) and found them both to be excellent cleaners of the water, and much much cheaper.

Hi Andrew,

sounds interesting, any pics?

Hello Greggy,

It's been a fair while since my wet/dry went to the tip! So I can't remember all the details, but I think I used to get a lot of small air bubbles too. My water was never really...

Not a UPS, which I also considered but it was appearing pretty costly when I stopped searching for info. I figure that I need to get a solar set up (when I can afford that!) and then I'll think...

Hi Robdog,

that's exactly what I meant!!!

Ladyred, looks I need to change the carbon every two weeks then, RATS, I just need more expense!!

A water saving thread would be good, I could do...

Hi Chris,

We are in the Strezlecki ranges on the edge of the Latrobe Valley in Gippsland. We will never have supplied water here; apart from a few small lots, like ours, mostly we are surrounded...

Hi enigmatic,

as someone who does not have water supplied and can only use tankwater, I sympathise with your problem.

You can do reduced water changes if your tank is under rather than...

I have three plecos and several bristlenoses in with my discus. These types of fish need wood. I have never had a problem with them attaching to the discus, however, if there was no driftwood,...

I have my 6' tank set up with two canisters on either end - one outlet runs directing water along the back of the tank - I try and slope the flow so that it starts at the top and ends up near the...

worst filter I ever had - went down the tip!

not enough power to pull water through with a mechanical sponge filter on the intake - if you take it off, you get a slow water flow and the filter...

You see red snakeskins advertised, it is definitely a SS, maybe a red one?
Great colour anyway.
