Tap water could be 6.6 even though it is buffered to 8.2 if her faucet somehow gets enough carbon dioxide into the water right out of the tap. (I wish I could...
Dora, I think you need the Pur Faucet Filter System with the new "Flavored Water" option of adding flavors to the water... and then buy the "CO2 flavor ...
But if my tank water pH stabilizes to 6, it seems like my tap water should be somewhat near there, at least that's my thought.... I will of course get the...
Hey none of those links were cut down in size, perhaps Yahoo needs () around links to keep them intact? I guess the one at the very bottom that was 3 lines...
I like to use a gallon since you get a better chance of having an "average" water sample and trying to dose a cup with dechlor is/can be problematic. Even a...
Hi Amber, Is this still from the 55 tank? What sort of gravel and decorations do you have in these tanks. There is a wide range of things which will buffer...
Oh My Oh my went out this morning to clean the filter and pump for the lower pond and to clean the waterfall and I am so happy my frogs came back and they had...
how great that is! :) ... Have a great day! Suzi http://www.photoworks.com/members/Suzi ... From: mattsmom To: AquaticLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May...
I'm mostly curios as to why the water holding tank in the parking lot by my condo has a pH range of 7.15 to 7.35 and my water never tests higher than 6.6 out...
Sorry Bill was sitting at the hospital waiting to have blood drawn I didn't even answer all your questions, LOL. Yes it's still the 55 gallon that's having...
Does pH in water fluctuate on a daily basis? This was my response about my pH from the water company: Amber: We monitor the cold water pH daily at the pump...
I almost have the same issue my basic tap water pH is 8.5 but i can't keep the pH in my tanks above 6.2.. i have tried everything from pH buffering solution to...
Hey, Suzi. Just had to say how much I enjoyed looking at your craft pics. I, too, love to crochet. Especially tiny stuff. I love doing crafts! I'm working on...
I posted in an earlier post about my shoal of "Emerald Cory's" actually Brochis splendens. I found differances externally but not enough info yet on the...
Congrats!! I have tons of toad babies on the way here in our pond (err... mini lake). I was out fishing (hope that confession isn't evil here. LOL) and saw no...
One of my new plants in the 55 gallon is starting to decay it appears, but at the very base of the stalks near the gravel. Should I just toss the whole plant...
You folks in Oregon.. beware of “bufo bufo” they will devour anything that will fit in there mouths :-). I visit sisters yearly for the past 15 yeas or so,...
Not sure how you plan on feeding them but please know they will devour each other if no other food source is available. You can always get a few thousand pin...
Thanks so much Janet! :) I have a question about your possible project... do you think it might be too heavy and the silcone break free? ... Have a great day!...
I put slow release organic fertilizers into the soil for the plants (small amounts as I didn't want to put too much). I had it on hand already, hmmm... I...
Also in case anyone is curious about the fertilizers and if it was the cause of my green water, it seems like I should have gotten green water sooner as I have...
Amber, At the risk of rising the wrath of your hubby, I feel it is important to point this out. If the degrees of water pH are significant, as they seem to be...
Amber, Now I am going to risk the wrath of the group. Until you have a solid firm handle on everything and everybody inside the 55, I think it would be best...
Only one plant is having issues... and the tank has been cycled for awhile, especially now that half the inhabitants are dead ;) It's WAY cycled, LOL. I am...
Yes, that is a concern. I'm going to try and incorporate some light items among the rocks and only use thin rocks or maybe faux rocks if I could find a...
