    AGA 2008 results...

    I was a bit surprised there werent more UK entries to be honest, There have been some great scapes posted on this forum that were worthy of an entry. I guess its a bit daunting going public like that and perhaps there is a temptation to wait as 'My next scape will be better' or 'this scape is...

    Water change practice

    Am i Missing something? Im not trying to adjust KH with Co2 The KH is the buffer capacity of the water right? The waters ability to hold or stabilse Ph right? Therefore A high Kh = a high buffer capacity that will require increased amounts of Co2 required to lower PH right? At low KH levels...

    Re: lfs dont know jack!!!! Thing is you probobly made a similar face when you was first told about adding N&P :) . The LFS's have concentrated forever on selling 'FISH' and in a fish only aquarium N&P will cause algae. Therefore the best defense was always phosphate and nitrate removers. You...
