    Fungus????

    Clean your tank , feed less, uneaten food degrades water quality. Do a small water change and observe your apistos.

    water chem/ co2

    Chloramines can be removed from water with very low flow rates (5 to 10 minutes contact time) through shell-base activated carbon, followed by mineral zeolite media for residual ammonia adsorption. I don't think a normal prefilter will help. Industrial installations to clean biocides from water...

    water chem/ co2

    I'm not a chemical engineer, but i know that this method is pretty useless without very precise pH measurements, a .1 error changes the numbers a 25 %, if my memory doesn't fail, roger miller in the APD list explained it. Buffers doesn't change the measurement. Here is the original post of...

    WOW, just checked the co2 ph-kh table. It's weird, with KH 5 and pH 6 the co2 concentration is 147 ppm ....too high ! How precise is your customer pH measurement ? Just look at this extract from the table post in the APD FAQ's...

    water chem/ co2

    That's weird. How is your mix of water ?, How much percent of RO Water to Normal water ?. Does it take long to get to pH 7 ?, wich blackwater mix are you dosing ?. The chart relates to actual levels of CO2, not potential. If the surface is aggitated the pH will go up, any aggitation only sends...

    Just my 2 cents.. I don't understand how can a bujurquina vittata or similar be grouped with apistogrammas, i had bujus on my aquarium for a year : they grow big,and are not compatible with apistos or any tetra species, they are "ocassional feeders" on anything that is smaller than his...
