water

Anyone tested the water quality from fairfax or alexandria's water. I need to know the hardness, chlorine and chlorimines, along with ph and sadly I seem to have misplaced my test kit. I need to pass this info along to an RODI company for the custom unit they are making me for the fish room.

5 spawns, no free swimmers ...... eggs last night, no eggs this morning :confused:

Was just curious if anyone ever user their Deerpark water in their aquarium??? I tested it for hardness just for kicks and all it took was just one drop to turn the tester green ....

Hello all, I am getting out of the fish keeping hobby. I had a 72 gallon tank leak in my house and do some damage to my floor and basement. I have a bunch of fish food that and supplies which I will list here for sale. Leaking 72 gallon bow Front Aquarium with stand (free) Fulval 406...

At our last meeting/auction I saw a couple of bags on the table containing fish and blue water. I know from my shipment of fish from Dave's the blue water is created through something that highly enriches the oxygen levels in the water. I am thinking of tanking the yellow lab and rusties I have...

I have some water hyacinth i'm trying to get rid of. I've brought all my fish in from the pond/stock and will shutting the pond down here soon. If anyone wants them let me know. I'd say there's about 15-20 plants.

I have two of these 55g drums, with slide off lids, available should anyone need them for water collection. PM if interested. I should be going to the picnic, so could deliver there.

My 75 gallon tank simply will not hold. I have tried everything including travelling great distances to pick up used filters from Jon and Chris was kind enough to come to the apartment to take a look. The amoonia goes up to .50 to 1 inside 1 day and the water will not stay unclouded for more...

Hey, Those of you in Howard County... esp. North Laurel... What are you getting for your dKH out of the tap? checked it last night and it is supposedly 3dKH... though this was really low for municipal tap. Or maybe not?

Ok, all you water experts. My question is: If I leave for vacation for 4 weeks, can I premake bucktes of dechlorinated water for the fish sitter? I have a bunch of 2 gallon jugs with lids. Will the water get nasty over the course of, 1, 2 , 3 or 4 weeks? Is it safe to use after sitting around...

Hi all. I'm new here. I've got a tank (125g) that I got from a guy who used to keep piranha in it. I got this thing going back in December, and it's been doing well. There's a couple issues though. The first is that I have a lot of aprticulate in my water - all the time. I have a Heim Pro II...

Hello All -- In my 29g Tank I have 6 williamsi fry and 6 cheware fry. For filtration I have an aq30 and a penguin 200. For some reason, I cannot get the water clear. It is not cloudy, but it looks like it has small particles floating around. I did a 40% water change today and I am seeing...

I stumbled upon a kent marine ro/di unit for a reasonable price. My question is, for those of you out there that use ro water, why? Don't most fish adjust to local water conditions, especially if you are getting your fish from others in your same area. What are the benefits of having/using...

I relocated the system for easy access... currently my system is pumping out about 11GPH... here is an article i wrote about it --> http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/fo...read.php?74275

So I just did a 1/3 water change in my 55g tank. It had been 2 weeks since my last water change since I was out for surgery. Normally I use my aqueon python thing to take the water out and then buckets to put water in. Well today i used the python thing for both. To protect against clorine...

I just found this on the internet. An article on water chemistry / quality by a great aquarist. This is why I never put salt (sodium) into my tanks. http://www.tbas1.com/Exchange/The%20New%20England%2011.pdf
