Re: Getting rid of tiny snails
Quick Cure will not kill snails, but will kill your neons. You can use copper from the marine section of the aquarium store, which will kill them. HOwever, consider what's happening to your bioload when you have a million dead snails in the tank. Check out : http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-experts/w...

Hooking Up My CO2 Unit
Well, I finally got around to getting my CO2 canister filled. Now, I have a pH controller, a filled canister, solenoids, tubing, and all this other STUFF that I don't know how to put together. I think I could figure it out, but ... well, I'd rather not gas my fish. Or myself. Or my dogs--eh, maybe t...

Re: Taking Over...
Haha, since I get most of my plants at the club, probably.
Now I have to remember the names for it all!

Re: Taking Over...
Very frustrating, though, as I lost some favourite plants. At least I didn't lose my anacharis and cabomba. :p

Re: Taking Over...
Well, I think I've got it pretty well under control.... I ripped out all the plants yesterday and removed every single last bit of the stuff. There are a dozen Amanos wandering in the tank, which should(?) keep it from coming back. The tank has some definite barren spots where I lost some plants to ...

Re: Jan. Mtg at Amazonia in National Zoo
I scanned through the whole thread. I saw something about there possibly not being room for families, but nothing concrete....

Re: Plant names in English
A lot of our medications and additives are actually easier to dose in metric, too. Want to increase your iron, phosphate, copper, nitrate, whatever by 5 ppm? Well, the tank is 150 litres. 1 ppm = 1 mg/L, so 5 mg x 150 = 750 mg of iron. Easy. No guessing and adding so many caps. Even given the diluti...

Re: Taking Over...
Hmmm... think Rachel will give me a deal on 5000 Amano Shrimp? :P I shot the temperature up to 90 degrees. Got rid of the ich, but ... caused this! Or, at least, this started then, so I'm blaming it. I've stopped adding any fertiliser but excel -- which should be getting rid of the algae. I'm hesita...

Taking Over...
IMG_0275.JPG I have what I think is best termed string algae. I've always had some small clumps of it that didn't bother me in my main tank. In the past week or so, it has exploded, and just taken over. I remove handfuls of this stuff daily. I don't understand, as I haven't changed anything -- alth...

Re: December Holiday Meeting
Well, I was planning on coming out for this, too. Has anyone volunteered to bring beverages of a non-beer form? If not, I can bring some 2-litres of various sodas.
Otherwise, I'll pick something up at the bakery.
Ya'll don't want me to cook.
