    Any clever trick to get iron?

    My only concern with Steel Wool is, how does boiling remove oils or preservatives from the wool itself? Does the oil float is drained off before removing the wool from the water?

    EI question

    The reference solutions are a know concentration, such as 10 or 20ppm. You test the know solution and compare to the colors on your cards, to see how accurate your test is.

    Any clever trick to get iron?

    Easiest method, would be purchasing Root Tabs and placing them under the gravel near the plants root mass.

    EHEIM CLASSIC 2215 or EHEIM ECCO 2236

    Not if you keep the tubes in the tank, preserving the syphon. There are valves on the ends that you close before removing the filter for maintenance.

    Prices of Sand? How much for two 10 gallon tanks?

I would not personally use a 2236 on on anything bigger than a 20gal if that is the only...

    plant dumb, but not fertilizer fried. yet......

I grow it in hardwater too, but my water is acidic due to the CO2 injection and it grew like a weed in my tanks too, so I dont think the PTF description really fits anymore. I bought my original bunch from aquariumplants.com, also they have a really...

    is this lighting ok?
