    SW VS. FW Fish

    i think in general SW fish are more aggressive so i voted SW. but i have to say the meanest and most aggressive fish i have even seen in action is a FW fish, that would be the red devil (Amphilophus Labiatus).

    Can't figure out why ph is low

    SeaLover, have you tested your alk yet? ph is not a measure of your alk, it only tells us if the water is more basic or acidic, what the H+ is doing. get a alkalinity test kit, salifert test kits are good to use. i know i am the only one that asked about your alk and suggested alk could be your...

    Can't figure out why ph is low

    NO i did not say you need to drip kalk. that is just one thing that eatsup CO2. if you need to dose Ca+ and alk then dripping kalk may be an option, maybe. first read that link on low ph. if you dont have high enough Ca+/alk demands then kalk would not be a good choice, JMO. yes CO2 is that...

    Can't figure out why ph is low

    what, a low alk will allow orgaic acids to accumulate and that will cause a lower ph, i dont see why you dont think this doesnt have more of an impact if alk is low opossed to high. i dont think that is an issue here. but a higher alk level will help compensate for the ph, if it is turely...

    wow check this out!!

    i dont know about that. i would need to see how and what its doing. simply breaking bonds doesnt fly with me. the testing they note are not tests at all. they report results based on an observation nothing else, no real testing or studies were done that support their claims, at least i did not...
