Thanks Lenny, I took both of the color blindness test and have normal vision according to them. I think that the test, at least on the low end, is hardly...
I did fine on those tests. Of course, the tests don't measure the ability to discern subtle differences between shades of the same color, which is what teh...
Lenny, I need to know whether to rinse out the yellow gunck on the back of my filter when I clean it in the water I just removed from the aquarium each week. ...

... Steve or Lenny. Is there a way to create a test solution to test the effectiveness of a test? I have two planted aquariums which have never shown any...
Hi everyone, I just brought a new INTERNAL filter for my 20G, (480 L/H), I couldn't take the (600 L/H) because it was too tall to be fully submerged. The old...
Dora, You asked this same question last Wednesday (May 28, 2008 @6:33 PM), as message number 28060. Both Lenny and I answered you! Lenny replied also on last...
Hi Noura, First I want to address your comment about not running both filters at the same time. This is not a good thing to do. When you turn off a filter, ...
... I might be out of line here, but failing means death to the animals involved, and not a pleasant one. It's also why many people leave the hobby because...
As you probably know, a planted tank without much of a bioload will not have nitrates as the ammonia is utilized by the plants before it ever goes through the...
I used to pickup pH solutions for specific pH values at That Fish Place. I never did this for other measurements since I was using a pH probe at the time that...
Thanks to all who responded to my question about Nitrate level. All of your ideas were good. On reading my original post I noticed that I didn't mention...

I really don't know, as you, but why not ask what, exactly, they are doing. Are they actually using a zeolite and need to use a solution to remove the iron...
I hate to disappoint you or your stockiest, as you call him, but there are an awful lot of tropical fish that can put the marines to shame. Take killies for...
Actually I never got either reply, and I was watching for it. Why would you assume in such depth that I'm ignoring you? And when have you ever seen me...
