I used Flubendazole once with my angelfish. As it is sold as dewormer for Discus and found to be safe
with catfishes. The angel went back to heaven weeks later. But I don't think it was because of...

This may be useful (hopefully).

And I think it's for a good reason. As the only fish that Mebendazole doesn't seem to kill is koi.
But its relative (gold fish) is wiped out. ...

Don't you find it odd about "training the fish for high CO2". As other people (or at least
most other people) don't have to do this. They would just put fish in before
CO2 injection begins and...

When a tank is about to leak, there generally is a sign.
Bubbles will form at the silicone seam where there have not been before.
So you can be prepared for the incident.

A, C, D aren't clear enough in the picture.

B = Echinodorus uruguayensis, but the picture is still not good enough (too far) to be certain.

Really this has popped up in my mind too. How can they (we) know? They (we) aren't plants.

There are many pests underwater, snails, insect larvae. And the most common in our tanks are shrimp and fish.
My plec munched my stargrass once. My angelfish liked to nip Tenellus tips. The Anubias...

I have tried 6, 8, 10 hrs photoperiods and found that the plants always "learn" to close their leaves about
an hour before lights off.

As I've read, the reason plants close their leaves and...

The first picture, this one?

[VERY upset after my long text got lost via that log-in warning here.
I noticed during typing that the text was auto-saved. Where the heck is it now?
I have to type it again.]

I've been worried about this so I still haven't bought a used DSR's.
Even the ones labeled "new" there. How can $300 equipments be sold at ~$50-100?
It's too good to be true.

Seen a guy put it in his canister filter.

Ah, CO2 probe for the rest of us.

In summary, the OP (who is fortunate to have an Oxyguard CO2 meter) had
problem about CO2 taking long time to reach the optimal level.

Tom saw his graph and said it could be better, and showed...

In case you haven't read this thread. It seems possible to reach target level fast
and stay there without pH controller or double the injection at starting time.

Thanks :)

BTW, would like to add that from what I saw, it was quite capable of walking on dry floor.

Heck just found one walking across the floor in front of my desk.
First thought it was a strange species of cockroach.
Wondering how many I've lost this way. :(

What is your GH, KH? IME, Stargrass (H. zosterifolia) likes adequate Ca and Mg.

Used to think it (Stargrass) likes low GH by info from some website.
So I kept low GH and found I had to dose very...

Lemme try.

It drops because it's not the equilibrium level with air which is around 0.5 PPM or so.
Unless they wouldn't have to seal soda bottles.

Rising temperature decreases the potential...

My valve is not that good too (stock one which comes with Azoo reg).
It is very coarse. Much patience is needed to adjust it.
So I understand perfectly the want of better needle valve.

From other thread.

How long did you wait before concluding that the water couldn't be
pushed back without adjusting the needle valve? I never observe mine
because I'm still sleeping at that time. But I suspect it...

I have the water creep issue too. But it is pushed back fine when CO2 is turn-on.
BTW, I use two (cheapo plastic) check valves. One at the reactor and
another before solenoid.

I think all Tetras are very bold fish for their size.

Seen Boraras urophthalmoides in small tanks, looks very nice.
Not sure about shyness though.
