Hi Jo and Welcome!
Yes, there is a lot of controversy with their use. First lets consider it in a different way and not say “Filter” at all. Lets say under-gravel water movers because that’s what they are and their real true purpose. They turn the entire bottom of your tank into a giant […]
I want to get my pH where it is closer to my tapwater baseline so I won’t stress out the fish too much doing PWC’s. So to do that I’m going to have to maintain a higher KH and GH correct?

I just did my baseline tests, initial tests had my pH at 6.5-6.6 and GH was approx 100ppm , and KH was 18ppm or less (1 drop). pH rose to 6.8 after 24 and 48 hours, GH lowered to 38ppm after 48 hours and KH remained the same the whole time. As you […]
I soaked in hot water and rinsed it very well, I wasn’t sure if I could boil it though, so I just used really hot tap water instead. It’s also been sitting outside on the porch for about 5 months I don’t like using bleach, I guess I tend to mess […]
Hi Amber, I am still trying to figure out exactly what your trying to do here. Sorry I lost your original post. But may I offer some food for thought? First, here is a link and picture of the Oyster Shell Flour and its manufacture: http://www.downtoearthdistributors.com/oystershell.html Next, I am reading […]
Well I haven’t seen them drinking out of it, they want to stick their paws in it though I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t poisonous or anything, dirty paws won’t affect pH much will it? LOL. Currently all the surfaces have stuff on them, will have to look for […]
Oh and after hearing stories from my mom about the food grandma made when they were growing up I now no longer think that it was gross when grandpa covered all of his food in something, such as ketchup or peanut butter LOL.

Well, at least you know your tap water baseline now so you can now compare your tanks to the baseline (48 hour test results) instead of out-the-tap numbers and you’ll have a better idea of what is
As you see, they can change quite a bit, in your case, the pH went up from 6.5 to […]
They’re in the group folders under “Jasmine” I believe… She has some very pretty Angel’s.

Both Ray and I stated you should start with the Furan Two immediately. If that doesn’t do the trick and if it starts looking to be bacterial (Flexibacter Columnaris), then the added antibiotic, Kanamycin, might be needed but from looking at your pics, I do not see any of the tell-tale redness associated with […]
