I'm not hiding anything, believe me, but some of these articles are involved and I can't remember where this or that point may have come from. But on salt, no, that is not the only thing. All...

pop liked post by Mikaila31 On thread : Want to Get Low-Density Rocks

Pumice rocks or volcanic rock is technically lightweight because of all the trapped air inside it. It can often even float.

pop liked post by Byron On thread : pop's opinion: benefits of current, circulation

On the contrary, most of us likely do experience this, at least once. I recall a couple years ago sitting in front of my 115g 5-foot tank and it struck me that a few of the corys were respiring a bit...

pop liked post by Byron On thread : new substrate for the bottom of my fresh water 55 gallon tank?

I've had play sand in tanks for over 2 years now, and have just recently changed my 6th of 7 tanks to play sand. Keep it shallow, from 1 inch to 3 inches depending upon tank size, and with live...

I find two 10w CFL bulbs, both Daylight at 6500K, work well over a 10g tank. I have this over my 20g too, but neither tank develops algae issues, and the plants do very well in both. The 13w...

pop liked post by jaysee On thread : Bubble Time! How long should the air pump be on for?

Fish get rid of ammonia via the gills. However, it's done by passive diffusion. That means that the ammonia concentration of the fish can not be less than that of the water
