    Looking For A New Test Kit

    I have to say that I find nearly all the water test kits hard to use, Because I am colour blind. The only ones I ever really get on with are the tetra ones as they have what I call obvious colour changes, Rather than a graduated scale of the same colour.

    As a comparison, How much on average is next day del in the USA? A rough guide here in the UK is about £7 by a courier. Can be more or less of course.

    Soooooooo Angry!

    I think this one of the beauties of the mainland UK. Because we are so much smaller, Next day del is easy. I think it's probably not as guarenteable in the USA. But not impossible of course.

    Air Conditioner Condensate - Catch To Use In Aquarium?

    Being a fish person and someone who dabbles with aircom I have seen this question before. I think the main reason for not using the condensate water is because it drips from the evaporator and can pick up any airborn contaminates. This is not a proven theory (that I know of) and think people...

    Any Body Use Distilled Water In Their Aquariums?

    I use it in my freshwater tank purely because the water where I am is very hard and has a lot of nitrate in it. The fish I keep are also mainly soft acidic fish so I control how my water is rather than fighting a loosing battle trying to lower hardness and pH levels.

    Reverse Osmosis Flow Rate

    Thanks for the reply BrianH. I have looked at some of the other posts which are very useful. It also seems I may be getting a good flow rate after all, I think I was suffering from watching the tank fill syndrome :D I left it over night and what a difference its made. Cheers.

    Reverse Osmosis Flow Rate

    Hi All I hope this is the correct section to post this question. I have a 50GPD RO unit that I have just installed, It works fine with no leaks but is PAINFULLY slow. I would be surprised if I got 4 gallons a day out of it, There is a pressure guage on the waste line which is showing about...

    Substrate For Planting

    Hi Everyone My first de-lurking post. What is the best substrate to use when planting out a tank?. I need an inert substrate as I will be having soft acidic water and do not want anything leeching into it. How long roughly would it be best to wait to start planting?, This is a new setup. Cheers all.
