Would thin cotton socks work to put the crushed coral in? They are brand new just pulled out of the bag… I didn’t like the style and never wore them. I can use a zip tie to tie them shut.

Okay I will put some in one of the giant filter bags and maybe fold it over or something for something to use for now, it’s time for a filter cleaning anyways, might as well add it while I’m in there LOL. How much more should I add since I put […]
Yes and no. While a higher KH and GH will often result in a higher pH, it isn’t automatic. For example, if you have a heavy bioload in a tank with lots of nitrifying bacterial action and decaying detritus putting out lots of carbonic acid and CO2, then your pH will be lower […]
Ray,
I tend to agree with Eric. While I don’t have a ton of experience at repairing computer hardware, I do belong to a few computer related yahoo groups and read about other people’s problems all the time, in order to keep my computers from getting to that point. Just like our fish tanks, […]
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?

Amber,
Daily dosing is not required for GH/KH issues. BUT… for at least one of the SeaChem products, Excel, I think daily dosing is at least suggested.
If you went with the Oyster Flour, you would only have to daily dose for the first week or so to bring the GH/KH levels up to where you […]
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.

I will check with friends and see what I can find, and no fish net stockings for the hubby, besides those would be horrible for holding crushed coral LOL.
I did a test today to see if the crushed coral did anything to the pH. I added 3 small handfulls to the […]
Nylon’s what are those? LOL I think I haven’t worn those since highschool or at least the last time I went to the bar, years and years ago LOL I will see what I can dig up, I added it to the tank for now as I didn’t have […]
I’ve never used crushed coral and I think it would depend on how big the pieces are, the volume of the water, where it’s put, etc.. The smaller the pieces, the more surface area of the crushed coral that would be exposed to the water. Are you putting in your filter or just […]
