So where is the cheapest place to buy growlux, Powerglo and other tubes. Planning on building a 4 foot light hood that is going to take 3 or 4 4 foot t12 light. I figure I can use one of each, then I'll be covering all bases. I got 11 industrail light fittings for $1.00, so I'll make use of them.

Hello Hannahbell, Welcome to the site. When my eyes read Hannahbell, my brain says Hannibal. Must be a Deslixic thing. I had to spellcheck deslixic too.

looks like bloodworms to me too. I know bloodworms swim in a S shape pattern, are this worms doing that? If bloodworms, I don't see any problems with them. Your fish will like to eat them. Use the chemicals as a last resort.

So If I want to grow glosso, I'll need 4 tubes to get the light output?

alanmin, Do you use the 3500k and the 2700k together? Or seperate? I am needing to build a light hood and the 2700k bulbs or tubes are easy to find, and also cheap.

What is TDS.

doesn't the exoskeleton fact as ruffage?

is it true that in germany they use these fish to test tap water quality? They measure the amount of eletric discharge coming off the fish.

opps, that was me. Wanted to know how far off the reserve is. It is within 15% of 1800, so guessing they want 2g's for it.

one tube would be fine.

The bacteria live through out the filter. The special thing about the noodles, is that they have a very large surface area. Bacteria need surface area.

The sludge in the foam is inert. It won't be affecting the water. Don't touch the filter until the water quality is sorted. That is where the bacteria live. Doing anything with the filter will reduce the bacteria population and make things worse. Most poeple only clean there filters when water flow is reduced abit. Some don't get cleaned for upto 6 months.

Hmmm. the great water conditioner debate. Some people say use it, some say don't bother. Maybe 99% of the time you may get away without using conditioner. And then there is the 1% chance the the council in your area have done a chorine flush, safe to drink but deadly to fish, and all your expensive fish die. I guess if you choose not to use it your playing russian roulette. At $3.50 per bottle that treats over a 1000 litres, I'll take the conditioner. Also I've been told the conditioner contains trace minerals aswell, true or not, I don't know.

Water change twice a day. lighty gravel vac. And don't feed the fish for a couple of days. And then only feed a tiny bit.

were is the best place for the culture? Hot water cupboard or a cool place.

Where do you get instant mash from.

I would have presumed that the bloodworms would have been through a gamma ray treatment. No doult MAF would not want 'gods know what' in the country.

The guy is most likely using a refridgetor motor/compressor.

Will the BN's and GBA's crossbreed? Thinking about getting both and wanting to know if they need to be is seperate tanks.

Black out the tank, so that she thinks it is night time and goes to sleep. Maybe. I don't know. Worth a try.

search The Romaurie-Effect. And there you will find the answer. Happy building people

problem with common names. There are more than one type of mosquito fish. Gambusia are very plain and small. You may have wild guppies.
