FYI those antic bulbs are not really meant for fresh water tank but rather a marine tank.
Those bulbs do not help from what I was told by another more experienced than I

Also I can’t get clams (freshwater at least) up here, my LFS doesn’t carry them. They also don’t carry daphnia and I haven’t found a company that will ship it here (since it takes 2 days to get stuff here, minimum).

I’m really not sure what caused the algae bloom. I added about 10 fish over the coarse of 2 1/2 weeks (I didn’t add them all at once), and I added 3 new plants last week, along with 3 of those 10 fish that I added. I didn’t get an algae bloom […]
I have a UV filter, not sure what a diatom filter is . The UV filter is hooked up to the eheim on the 125 gallon tank right now. I did a 100% water change in partial water changes last night (took a long time of course, as I did one […]
Okay so what everyone has said is only add enough prime to treat the water you are adding to the tank, so since you have not used any dechlor product as of yet, I would add enough to treat the whole tank when you get the prime (or whatever heavy metal dechlor […]
I’ve done a baseline of mixed water already a few months ago, and I know the water supply hasn’t changed (will be changing this fall according to the notices they send out). I will do a test of just cold and a test of just hot water and see how they compare. […]
I don’t have a hot water heater, there’s a boiler that heats up the whole building, I’m not sure how that will factor in….

So if the heavy metals don’t get used up or evaporate then I suppose an initial dose with prime would be what Bill wants to do for his whole tank if he has not been using anything so far. Bill have you used any dechlor products at all yet?

So blend the water? LOL. I suppose I could do that. But that would only work for 5 gallons at a time as I only have one 5 gallon bucket, would be slow going to fill the tank back up, I’ve gotten spoiled with the python LOL.
