Hi guys Just a couple of things. The ceramic rings you buy at most LFS are designed to be mechanical media, although they may harbour some...
Hi guys I think you are both still misunderstanding. Please read the link I posted. I know much of it is complicated chemistry, but please go...
@shihr - I think you misunderstood what I said. I meant that because you have soft water (eg Cape Town) you don't need CO2 as there is already...

Hi all I want to resurrect this thread. It's a little old, but I've had some BGA problems recently. I've read over everything I wrote before and...

Zoom, sorry for the thread hijack...but perhaps what we are discussing here will also be helpful to you and others browsing this thread. Shihr,...
