Hi Time for a quick update. I have now purchased an additional external cannister filter, TetraTec EX1200 and so far I am very impressed. It...
As I recall, O3 used in UV filters to kill bacteria and diatom algae. It is most effective way to clear up green water. But no O3 passes back into...
Ozone and Oxygen are different, not so? O3 vs O2... I haven't googled this nor do I have a scientific background, but ozone can't be too stable...
Prof Dirk I notice you have been a little quiet here lately. I am assuming heavy workload at the University. When you get some time I could...
Rudi, when you say BBA do you mean Black Brush Algae, also known as Black Beard Algae? BBA generally refers to a number of red algae types...
Since you opened this thread as a request thread :bigsmile: - I'm looking for Myriophylum Tuberculatum, also known as myriophyllum Matogrossense...
I have an interesting situation which I have been able to replicate exactly for the last 3 weeks running. Day 1 - 50% WC Day 3 - tiny bit of...
Not sure I guess Exclusive Books or CNA would maybe stock it. If not I will buy the first copy before placing an order. I think we should all...
You are unlikely to confuse Ancistrus with Otocinclus. :bigsmile: And @Zafgak: Yeah I love my otos too. I just don't find them very useful. But...
With respect, Zafgak, I beg to differ. SAE, if you can differentiate them from CAE and Flying Foxes, are better as they also eat red algae. Otos...

Yes that is what I mean. Just inert fine silica gravel like pool filter sand will be 100% for those plants. Add the nails for Fe root feeding and...
A word of caution here: rose and shrub mix is not recommended. Clay balls is quite a mission to get it right. None of the plants you intend...
Hi Prof Dirk How are the tanks coming along with the new NPK mix? Any updates? I know you said you are quite busy right now, but I'd be very...
Hi Rudi When I refer to NO3, I actually mean KNO3, it is just that the NO3 part of the chemical is what we are really interested in. The reason is...
@Zoom Hi, you make some good points there. I think you might be misinterpreting MCI. You may have noticed that I lean more towards MCI than EI....
Hi Prof Dirk I appreciate you taking some time to respond, considering your schedule. Agreed and understood. With regards to point 1, I...
Rudi, let me go back a few steps here. This has also become clearer to me having spoken to Christian personally and having asked him some...
Hi I would think there is plenty bio filtration in an external cannister. You are right - you cannot have water flow too fast. But you can have...
In one of the first posts in this thread I mentioned that one of the most important things I've learned from Tom Barr is that you have to define...
