Hi Les, I have been a lurker on this group for a while now and am always impressed with the patience and advice you give. I was wondering if you might be able...
Ahhhhhh, you have discovered one of the hidden benefitsd to using real wood in an aquarium. As it sits in the water, the natural tannins contained in the wood...
Les, As usual, thanks for the thoughtful response. I guess the one big question I have is can wood bring the PH too low ? And are there kits to measure PH...
I have never had to worry about pH that low, so I'm not sure what kits are available. Sorry. I'm sure that if there are not cheap ones for home use, like...
 A Late Bulletin!!!  My name is Bill and I am returning to the hobby after a 30 year absence. In those days I spawned and raised Discus, so its not like...
Hi Bill. How big is the tank and how many fish are already in it? My first guess would be ammonia, but that would affect even the older residents, and blue...
Thanks Les,  Nice to meet you. With the gravel vacuuming plus the 4-gallon water changes every 4 days, I don't think nitrates are the problem. Testing...
Hello Bill. While reading your email my first response was "What? Adding crushed coral?". If I remember correctly, crushed coral makes water harder. Cories...
How clear are you vacuuming your gravel? It could be you are pulling out all of your beneficial bacteria and though your fish that are already there are used...
Here are a couple of links from our business days: This first one shows something that started growing in our tanks and filter system that came from the well...
Hi Kaycy,  Thanks for BOTH of your replies and I'll try to combine both here.  The water changes are done at 4-gallons every 4 days. My other tank is a...
You shouldn't need to make your water any harder than what you have at the 5.5 and 5.8 since this is soft water and the species you mentioned are soft water...
Hi Kaycy,  We are not connecting correctly? I think you are misunderstanding me about my so-called "Additives" for the well water. I use a nylon bag for...
I gotcha Kevin BUT-----------------there still is the problem with any new Cory's. At neutral of 7.0 but natural well-water of 5.5 to 5.8 you can see the...
No, I understand what you are saying, Bill. I'm just trying to say that you don't need the crushed coral. Like Kevin stated, all you have to do is acclimate...
Hi Kevin! And before I even say another word, thanks for responding to me. I guess my next or biggest question would be this???? How slow is slow? Maybe...
OK - with a little disclaimer - I haven't researched out the "natural" environment for the particular species of corydoras that you are bringing home, but if...
One more thing - I made the mistake a few years ago of letting my LFS send me home with new cories with pure Oxygen in their bag. Since they have a habit of...
 Hi Kevin!  And again, thanks for your return. That second one really made me laugh! The "Pure Oxygen" part? Around here----------you're lucky if you...
Folks,  I am very sorry for the spreading out of my last message to Kevin and the group. Although, I am not exactly sure why it formatted in that manner,...
you might enjoy getting to know Matk Denaro at anubiasdesign - he has a yahoo group by that name and imports some absolutely phenomenal fish, including...
Thanks Kevin, Â Quite a while back I was on that group and sent Mike an inquiry about some Cory's, that was July of this pass year; I've yet to get an answer....
Yeah - he's busy and misses some emails - I usually had to "ping" him more than once - it was ALWAYS worth it though - he introduced me to some of the most...
No worries Kevin,  I'll be glad to keep you in the loop. But in all fairness, my friend in NY did come through with some very high quality Rams. ...
Yahoo and word sometimes don't get along. Don't worry about it. ... From: bill 1433 <warrenprint@...> Subject: [Corydoras and More] Sorry Folks? To:...
