I think you meant to say anybody who doesnt have experience using a drop checker as opposed to dunces but thats just semantics.

I know it wastes a bit of CO2 but i have an airstone just under the intake to a powerhead on 24 hours a day.

On Purigen and i know we are drifting a bit from the op question ,, but ,, Seachem are adamant not to use Purigen with water conditioner that has " slime coat " properties such as aquatan.. my lfs guy is adamant thats to trick you into using prime but well hes the lfs guy and thinks nutrients...

Did it take the cat long to cop on ? Ours put their paws up on the bottom of the tank and walk on their hind legs along the floor trying to catch the fish, this is followed by a period of sitting back in confusion only to repeat the exercise. :lol:

I cant answer the question on carbon , but " potentially " suggest an alternative in Seachem Purigen. I have not tested the notion but Seachem and a small number of reports i have read on it suggest if doesnt remove trace elements. I havent tested it deeply though , i just popped it into the...

Where did you get the HC from ? Is that melt due to changing paramaters ?

Gotta be honest and say i was thinking blimey ,,, wonder what his fish tank was made off :lol:

Sorry to hear but i am a bit curious about how exactly the fish died , did he get into the DC fluid bulb ,, how wide is the kneck on your DC ?

I looked at ways of making water changes easier and bought the following : 1. 2 x Wheelie bins of sufficent size, although 1 will do as the second one is for storing waste EI water for house plants. Any contianer of sufficent volume on wheels will do or even a big plastic dustbin if your happy...

Take a look at Jing, its free. Or there is also Screencasts products which have a 30 day trial.

You know what thats a good point and it is not a question I can answer. That being said nobody ever won a case against the manufacturer of Aromatherapy products or the employer ( to my knowledge based on a quick google search ) because it was dangerous and nobody ever felt the need to perform...

Its being sold ( marketed ) either as a fertilizer or as a Herbicide depending on which product you look at so from the research i did , it falls under the legislation. I just confirmed what is common sense really as i notice most other dangerous things are labelled. Here is a link to...

AEtold me theres was when i bought it. Funny in tiny doses it kills plants and fish, at the same or lower air dose people get asthma and according to its msds other things are possible. Nurses won claims for other things too... and your mate drinks it and lives to tell the tale anyhow.. You...

Uk and European law states that if a chemical is a known toxin / hazard then its provider must make available an MSDS outlining the contents you can get the details of anything e.g washing up liquid , washing powder etc. This is so if there is a medical emergency with the product e.g kid drinks...

Tom, I am not using any product ( any more but tried two of them ) but as i said above I would tend to trust a major firm making this stuff to a precise solution more than an "online aquarium shop " and that is a sentiment many people expressed to me in private in addition. I would imagine...

http://msds.chem.ox.ac.uk/FO/formaldehyde.html Kinda went eek when i read the toxicology on it. Lachrymator i think means something to do with chemical weapon or tear gas depending on the page you look at online.

Inhaled ( as i assume this was the manner of study since the near scuba kit they are mandated to wear doesnt allow skin absorbtion ) at .02 parts per million for 15 minutes or more according to people more qualified than us if i read the Royal College of nurses assessment correctly ? They...

Pretty much the same for them all.

The MSDS covers a lot of stuff , i get the impression they err on the side of caution whats of note though is that the medical procedures are different in the case of say ingestion of bleach to this with the emphasis being on trying to limit exposure by purposefully not inducing vomiting over...

http://www.rcn.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf ... 001362.pdf http://www.rcn.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/78505/001362.pdf There are some comments earlier in this thread relating to how its ok in lower concentrations and what concentrations are and are not problematic.

The smell about my home but for sure in the tank room is quite strong when i dosed it water change dose. This is what the medical profession thinks of the active ingredient. http://www.rcn.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf%20...%20001362.pdf Nurses have won claims agains the NHS having developed problems...

Seachem are very keen to avoid saying it kills algae because then its a pesticide and subject to much more stringent federal health and safety laws in the US and Europe.

I dont believe so. Did you notice the pong when dosing easycarbo ? have you seen the health care industries take on gluteraldehyde ?

So what you are saying is , that it must be in high concentration e.g in the shop bottle at which point it is very toxic and the bottle should be kept sealed and not smelled. As obvious as sniffing superglue is a bad idea , it says on the bottle sniffing glue is a bad idea on the bottle. The...

Pages 6 and 7 of that report are the interesting ones, again the reduction in safe levels that the UK also adopted. AE stated their product is 20% stronger and it is not known that it is a polymer version that is being sold. I suppose long term the experience of other users will be interesting...

Re: What's in AE excel/ easycarbo That may be true but i dont go sticking my hands in bleach and besides which we are working with doses well in excess of what the health industry considers safe in dissolved form if AE or seachem for that matter is even 99% water. The medical profession is...

That would sound logical based on what I have found out thus far bearing in mind I am a layman doing research. These are of interest also : http://www.hse.gov.uk/asthma/glutaraldehyde.htm http://www.rcn.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf ... 001362.pdf This is recognised in the UK as a highly toxic...

I have stopped using AEs carbon product totally and sent a sample of it to the Spanish State lab via my wifes sister who works there for a breakdown. The Excel product whilst even as above has dubious contents if the holes in the cheese lined up ( really do keep out of reach of children ! ) its...

Re: AE excel/easycarbo Generally speaking I dont understand why Seachem felt compelled to submit an MSDS with the toxic " non polymer " version but the fact is that they did and the symptoms on that MSDS match those of the non polymer version according the HSC ( UK) . In any event its been...

AE excel/easycarbo According to their Mandatory MSDS it is , beyond Seachem are not saying anything. Its probably not fair to AE to have that discussion here though.

Have a plan before you start, i say that only because my aquascaping is a bit more complicated given i just shoved bits in ( including plants and equipment ) as i went along. Now I am planning everything rather than just ordering bits randomly for my first " proper " or planned tank ( Im going...
