  1. Hi Enjoy your time here.
  2. If you mean Azolla it does not do well other than outside.
  3. It was not about selling pets to under age children but about selling pets to under age children without their parent being there to say OK.
  4. The straight ones (untwisted) are unwanted organisms
  5. If a glass of water clears from the top down it means the sediment is settling out and if it clears from the bottom up it means that the disolved gasses are dissipating.
  6. Some of your plants are quite expensive here---like $200k but the advantage is you can get free board and lodgings for a couple of years as well.
  7. I have not seen it here. Salvinia molesta is an unwanted organism.
  8. Chlorine reacts with ammonia to form monochloramine, not the converse?
  9. Chlorine reacts with water to form hypochlorus acid (HCl) so the reaction of Sodium thiosulphate (the active ingrediant in most dechlorinators) with chlorine gives: Na2S2O3 + 2HCl = 2NaCl + S + SO2 + H2O so where does the nitrogen come from to form ammonia?
  10. When you did the water change did you just replace some water or did you stir up and vac the media?
  11. I have seen it frequently in the shops down here. It is quite commercial and grows easily emersed. Needs good light to convert to submersed.
  12. That aromatica is a nice looking plant submersed.
  13. You are right I think perennis it was. Peruensis may be one of the varieties.
  14. If you look at it from the top and the scales are protruding it has dropsy which for practical purposes is incurable.
  15. I think that is what it is ( it used to be called peruensis I think). I haven't grown it submersed as my lights are not strong enough but I have had two forms of it. One is a darker red (almost purple) and the other more red. I think yours is the latter. One branches more and throws more arial roots and one will grow under less intense light but I can't remember which one.
  16. Like a lot of things in fish keeping it is about how much.
  17. The fish are not fussy.
  18. I knew everything when I was young but have been learning every day since and have just turned 65. Perhaps I didn't then. I consider myself lucky to have not killed myself or someone else while driving and to still have all my extremities after making a lot of things that went bang.
  19. Chytrid can be cured with chloromycetin (cloramphenacol) but I am not sure how or at what rate it is used. It is also a difficult antibiotic to get hold of because it is the antibiotic of choice in the treatment of cholera so is restricted in use to avoid resistence.
  20. So it is highly likely that there used to be some where the mine is.
  21. There are a number of things that do that. Oak leaves that have fallen from the tree, oak bark, peat, cones from the alder tree and teabags to name a few. I have used them all without problems.
  22. By the way some kids drive up my street I think 16 is possibly too young for a drivers or firearms licence.
  23. Picked mine up today.
