Hi Ceg :) keeping ok thanks. Nose in Biochemistry books ;) I knew this. Mammals break down proteins, and their amino acids, in the form of urea. Birds in the form of uric acid, (which is why it degrades paint work) and fish as ammonia. I've also heard of urease, but I hadn't heard of urea...

Add another 205???

Thanks for confirming what I thought :D

I know it might sound obvious and you may already do it, scrub the algae off before you gravel clean... I did not realise this for a long while. My fiance does tell me I'm a blonde done wrong. I also turn my filter off and on again before I start syphoning as my 204/102/305 all kick out loads of...
