umm... more water heh kidding well salt is the result of acid meeting alkeline i think or is it minerals hmm the only things i would use to get rid of the salt would probably be much worse than salt it should disolve over time. im thinking it might be worth getting a marine tank just so i can not worry about the damn salt.

How about adding peat? Or maybe a potatoe...............

 

[Jamnog]

so boil the water with a few vegetables for three weeks on a medium heat leave to simmer add salt and bog wood stir throw in some potatoes ... am i on the cooking page?

 

[fish-gambler]

Off topic.

R we posting to increase our fish status.

this has gone way off topic, but funny none the less. as long as you are using potatoes be sure to melt some cheese over them. no, do not give your fish cheese it is very fattening as my middle section shows. mmm cheese, mmm beer, etc...

 

[fish-gambler]

Well my pleco may have been starving so I'll order it up a;
baked potatoe smothered in cheese
Lettuce/zuccini salad
and extra water.

BTW I have a piece of driftwood that I am going to start treating today...maybe I'll do it for two weeks.

[Jamnog]

doesnt seem to matter gambler we both of us cant have osars anyways. and after i got that tank esp. for the purpose of getting an oscar for it. wa wa wa ive got the sand and 3 rocks and some water in it im gonna leave the water in there for a week. i like to cycle slowly rather than mess with chemicals. im all excited now and ive got a hangover woo yay

At least your waters in your tank, mines making the grass grow.

Teach me to use plain window glass, well at least I can use it to stick some plants in it.

The woods has been boilt and is soaking, will see what happens.

I've been trying to get some mosquito larvae to feed to my fish - the mossies in this part of the world will have nothing to do with my bucket outside - maybe if i chuck a piece of wood in it.

I've got three plec's in my 50 gallon( only started with one but have adopted two others) I have never fed them on anything else but flake food but I have got some bog wood in there. What about mail ordering some bog wood for your tank then you wouldn't need to travel or boil it every day without knowing if you are removing all the salt from it. Good luck!!!!

 

[Jamnog]

it "wood" be handy i gave up on my peice of drift wood as it floats a bit too much for my likeing. im not shure how long it would take to soak with water but im guessing it might take till christmas before it would sink. wish i lived near a bog now
