I actually calculated the proper dosing of Oyster Flour quite a while back in one of the Pond Forums that I participate in. If Amber decides to go that route, I’ll dig up my old post and re-post it here or put it on my blog.
Actually, a search of that group found the thread […]
You should cut the full lighting back to 8 hours for now… and if you continue to have algae problems, maybe even a shorter time period. 8 hours of full lighting is plenty for most plants and especially for your easy to grow floating plants. The actinics should be turned off completely. […]
If the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate are “fine” (meaning 0.0ppm for ammonia and nitrite, less than 20ppm for nitrate) then that is due to the green water algae. If you kill all of that algae, you will not only kill the thing that is keeping your water safe for the fish but you […]
I can speak from experience that the Angel’s do not live on any schedule humans keep, LOL. Mine usually spawn at least once a month, sometimes every couple of weeks if they’re really in the mood. The babies never survive as once they hatch they are quickly devoured by the parents, but […]
Hi Jasmine, Glad the info has been of some help. I had another look at your silver w/black stripes Angelfish (the “exiled” one) and even though it’s on an oblique angle and not perpendicular to the lens, I have to say it’s a female with as much as I can determine from this […]
Ray,
There are time constraints I mentioned earlier. When I get home in the evening, having already worked a 10-14 hour day, I have about 2 hours to go through the +/-200 messages waiting. A lot of the message I get are not easy reads, jokes and stuff like that, but do take some time […]
\Steve//, I hear you with receiving about 200 e-mails a day, and am right there with you. I belong to only 5 aquarium-related groups that generate emails — the other aquarium groups are Forums, which you need to go up to each time you want to participate in any manner. These Forums send […]
Subjects are usually alphabetical on email sorting, so it would sort all the emails that started with Re: in one spot, and then everything that starts with [aquaticlife] Re: and the subject name would be in another spot… They could be separated by other posts in between and if the poster […]
I see what \Steve// is saying now that I saw your recent post here. When you reply from the website it puts your Re: after the group name [AquaticLife] and before the subject of the post. When I hit reply in my email program it puts the Re: before the entire subject […]
Funny . . . I thought I remembered reading some of the nearly exact same replies on this topic earlier this morning, somewhere around 9:30. If I didn’t know any better, I’d have to think that you might not read all your emails for this Group — or maybe just selectively read them ( […]
