fishy_t Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Oh - well if you want any more I think they are the only place in Wellington that has any... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Awesome as! Wats the PH at? 7.4 at the momment but i expect it to rise , hopefully slowly ( with the help of a lot of water changes if need be ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTee Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 What do you do in the way of treating it before you add it to the tank? We have a limestone quarry close to home, is this all you rocks would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 OH! You might find that Ph could get to 9! (lol) (Because Ar-nite and Limestone will make water PH raise and stay stable 8-9 PH.) Wat size tank? Can I ask wat price they stung ya for the Ar-nite and Limestones? i got the ar-nite from Auckland about 8 months ago for $42 a sach ( used about 1/2 of that ) and the lime stone was $30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billaney Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Is that $30 for all of them? Or per kg? Juss wondering as there are so many prices out there, and only a few places to get this stuff from, so was finking of making a trip up North and getting heaps, (cause its cheaper up there) so more people down here would have a chance to get some easier. it was $30 for the lot Mystic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
