Hmmm. Makes me wonder what type of people become a forum sage :spop: -
I have used salt baths and added salt to my tanks on many many occasions. I have used it to successfully treat wounds, fin rot, white spot etc etc I hardly ever use chemical or pharmaceutical preparations.

Congrats David and I believe that completes the induction of the FK four :lol: -
A PH swing of around 1 deg is about right to achieve a co2 level of 25-30ppm This chart is a helpful tool too

My $15 15000K tubes have just arrived from fishstreet. I much prefer the colour over my 10000k tubes Far less yellow, more white/blue Now to see how the plants react

So are my peppered cory's that are happily living in my outdoor pond at 6.5 degrees tropical or coldwater cory's Sorry for the hijack

It depends on what filtration you have, what aeration you have and if you plan to change the water once a day, once a month or something in between

Has twisted Americana var 'asiatica' ever been here? Someone local is selling it on TM and I know that they are just guessing at the name :-?

For two thirds of a kidney you can have one of these http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=379642681 And for half a kidney you can get this http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=379642679 I have no idea about the quality but I am considering purchasing the 8 tube unit myself

How about one of these http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=379642683 The seller can be found here http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=53312

Awesome, congrats. I would be keen to try and germinate a few seeds if you have any spare.

It normally written on the bag that It comes in but if you have lost the original bag then I wouldn't risk it. Most Dacron that is marketed for stuffing pillows has a mold inhibitor added.

As long as its not treated with any anti bacterial or any fungal chemicals it will be fine.

I think you are confusing the breeding habits of your Synodontis eupterus with those of Synodontis multipunctatus

I was talking about light levels. My co2 injected tanks have high wattage MH lighting. Probably not ideal for crypts
-
I grow wendtii and a few other crypts in my co2 injected tanks but they grow just as well in my other tanks. I have always had trouble with Balansae in co2 tanks but my co2 tanks also have high light levels which could also be a negative factor. With a bit of luck supasi will see this thread, he's the crypt expert.
-
I was assuming that you will be using a regulator with a solenoid valve to turn off the co2 at night when it isn't needed? If so you can expect a Ph swing of about 1 degree between day and night. Its this Ph swing that some crypts don't like. Anubias is a slow grower and does better in my low light, no added co2 tanks. All of my java ferns grow just as well if not better in my no added co2 tanks.
