  1. It seems like you have cotton mouth which is also called saddle back. What is the brand of treatment you are using and what are the active ingredients?
  2. Bloodworms are baby midges and will become midges and fly away. Best to culture blackworms (Lumbriculus) that remain as such.
  3. Mollies often do better with a bit of salt but your plants may not feel the same way
  4. Take it out tonight and give a fresh bit in the morning but only big enough for them to eat in a day.

    That is why it is important that the results are expressed correctly. That is the same as 11.3 mg/l nitrate nitrogen If it makes you feel better.

    It will be a good thing to see the results that their tests come up with and compare that with the results that you are getting.

    Any scientific papers I have seen express the results in mg/l nitrate (mav 50 mg/l) or mg/l nitrate nitrogen (mav 11.3mg/l). MAV stands for maximum allowable value. ppm is not correct as it is referring to both weight and volume as the same units.

    You need to be careful how you measure and express your findings. PPM is not a scientific term.

    That exceeds the NZ Drinking water standard for nitrate and you should talk to your drinking water supplier and see what they are going to do about it.
  14. Also Cryptocoryne balansai
  15. I hope she is right handed.
  16. You should be able to catch them with a net and a torch at night from local streams as their eyes shine with the torchlight.
  17. The prime will convert the ammonia released from the treatment of the chloramines to ammonium but I understand that the test kits read for ammonium and ammonia. If that is the case then the ammonium will be safe at that pH.
  18. Is your water supply chlorinated and if so what are you using to treat the chlorine?
  19. I have grown heaps of plants in sand and never needed o do any sort of anchoring other than poking the roots into the sand.
