I have parrots so I get cuttlebones periodically so that’s not a big deal to me. Thanks for all the background info though.

Very handy link, thanks Lenny I can get cuttlebone to put in my filters easy enough, should I just use small amounts at first?

Thanks for that, I read over their care sheet again (I read it a month ago but I didn’t see anything about pH then either, and still don’t ). On the apple snail forums no one even answers anyone who asks questions about lower pH versus KH and GH. I know […]
A senior member on a fish forum I joined. I was not taking the advice to heart that is why I was asking questions here to see just how accurate their info was.
Thanks, Amber

I don’t think that’s an accurate statement. Here’s a snip from Applesnail.net…

Time of the wear huh? LOL. Actually I’m in southern Alaska, we have somewhat normal daylight just doesn’t get very warm.

You guys are just a little weird I think I’m going to buy 2 test kits so I can compare just how accurate the API phosphate test kit is

i would not use api kits as far as phosphate or nitrate as they are not as accurate as salvert or elos somethings are best not taken for granted and this is one of them even though the api kits are ok they are not as good or accurate as the salvert or elos and […]
Now the question is, how many of them have fish in them I have 4 tanks with current inhabitants, a 55 gallon empty to put my angel’s into when the stand is finished being built (still waiting somewhat impatiently on that one). And a spare 10 gallon for a QT tank, […]
My hubby would kill me if I asked for another fish tank, especially a big reef tank LOL. I already have a KH test kit actually but it’s okay to have a spare. I bought a KH and GH test kit a few months back. I plan on getting snails […]
