I own a pair but don't live in wellington. They are slowly waking from a prolonged holiday in cooler climes.

That would be a pretty normal hysteresis for most heater thermostats

I wouldn't worry about a range like that as it will be happening reasonably slowly.

I have used sand in planted tanks for many years and have never used anything to stir the sand. I leave the mulm to feed the plants and only remove it from the surface if it becomes excessive (which is very rarely)

Just awake and deciding if I should get out of bed. Went on for quite a while but no damage and not as violent as others of that magnitude. Located between Dunsandel and the Rakaia river.

You don't have to have a heat pad, a ceramic heat emitter works OK. -

A year or so.You can add micronurrients in other ways later if you want

It is an available source of carbon instead of CO2, not a general fertilizer but it also has algacidal properties. Flourish comprehensive is the fertilizer.

A great meeting again---many thanks to all

It also causes silicosis but since fish don't have lungs it wont be a problem for them. Table salt also contains iodide but in such low concentrations as to be harmless. You can pay more for rock salt if you want but hardly worth the extra coin.

Welcome and good luck

If I remember correctly, it contains meth blue, malachite green and acriflavine and any one of those or all together can be applied directly to finrot. The quinine is realy for parasites.
