From the producers: "Dear Kevin, Yes, activated carbon will work, as well as Amquel. I have also passed this on to Dr.Rofen, our consultant. He...
No worries. I had to do the same. I guess I will start with carbon and a water changed see if the mushroom improves.
Malachite is different from malachite green. The latterr doesn't contain copper.
Just standard activated carbon? Would a new filter for a hob filter be sufficient or will i need an additional carbon source? Water changes? Its not...
I have 4 mushrooms and they are deteriorating.
my recent addition came down with ick. my natural reaction was to use an ick removal liquid meant for marine fish. after some research, I realize...
Any addition counts! How low was your alkalinity? Was your calcium low too?
I was using backing soda to adjust my pH, which was a terrible decision. I haven't seen any precipitation or any growth of anything that (algae...
Alkalinity was 2-4 times higher (at 9 meq/L) than the recommended value (2.5-4 meq/L) and was likely "burning" anything that attempted to grow in my...
Still can't grow any coraline, but im hoping my new light unit and reduction of alkaline (9 to 4 me/L) does the trick. My future purchases include an...
Here are mine (clowns, shrimp, 4-bulb t5 unit):
Well, I would place them into the HOB fuge without any predation. It is fed by a steady drip, so the water is darn near stagnant within it. I read...
I don't test for magnesium (don't care to pay $30 for a test), but should water changes every 1-2 weeks be sufficient enough to keep my mag up (I...
Test you your well water for nitrates and phosphate. I had an algae problem 3 years ago when I was using well water. The source was the phosphates.
I have a HOB refugium with a partition splitting it into two. I was thinking about growing brine shrimp to feed my tank rather than using...
Fantastic! Thanks.
You will be lucky to still have plants in the future. Cichlids tear apart the gravel and eat plants. That's my experience anyways.
I want to turn my 50-gallon cichlid tank into a planted community tank.
How long have they been there? I had the "problem" for a good month before it finally cleared up. A good vacuuming helped.
We've discussed lighting options in other threads. I just need to decide what combination would provide great PAR, but also not look too blue to my...
