Okay I have the tank filled with everything (soil/gravel/crushed coral/and water), and I have the filter running to get any debris out of the water, I netted as much as I could though. How fast will worm castings break down and put out nitrogen? Does anyone know?

I actually have a person who might want some of my numerous platy baby’s once they’re a bit bigger, I swear the platy’s are trying to fill up the 125 gallon tank Good thing I didn’t get Molly’s, LOL.

I have a tank with mollies and have found two worms wiggling in the tank. They are at least one inch long and red. I was thinking they were anchor worms but I have yet to see any actually attached to my fish. I added aquarium salt and raised the temp. I read this is […]
It has worm castings in the soil, they are slow release nitrogen, not sure if that has something to do with it? I will get the tank set up today and start the tests this week to see how the water is.

Ike Lenny, I am not sure what you mean by CO3 levels unless you are talking about CaCO3, calcium carbonate, in which case your readings are not a problem.
Your dwarf water lily is a dwarf. If you had a “normal” sized water lily, your 20 gallon tank would not be large enough for one leaf, […]
OK. .05% nitrogen is actually a LOT. If my math is right, and it’s late so it may not be, that is equal to 5pph (five parts per hundred), which would be equal to 50ppt or 50,000ppm. Of course, when you mix the soil with the water volume, that would lower the […]
Lets clarify what you mean by “cO3 levels”. While CO3 has been used to designate Carbonate, I’m not sure if this is what you are talking about since the more common term for Carbonate Hardness is KH. If the “between 80 and 100ppm” is for Carbonate Hardness, then this is nothing to be […]
So after my PWC’s the last couple of days and the added crushed coral to the filter my pH now seems to have settled to 7. Yesterday when I tested it was at 6.8. None of the fish seem affected and all I did was add water and crushed coral i didn’t […]
Hi Eric; This may be true in High School demonstrations but in my 36 years in electronics the only two capacitors that have blown up where those in cheap Chinese Computer power supplies. The one I speak of on Motherboards just puff up or they leak some but it is rare for them to […]
I had a graphics card go when the capacitors blew once(never get an EVGA card again). Scared the heck out of my daughter…she thought someone was shooting at her *weg*. My expereince with capacitors is that they usually go with a bang. If you have a large enough one, it can actually cause […]
