jones57742, it would seem that my magnetic personality has warped the time-space continuum and sucked the latter half of your post through a worm-hole into the universe of the Loach Forum from its rightful place within the Mildew Way of the Off-Topic Forum. Martin. Martin: I very much respect your ...

Martin: This seems like a concept similar to the superconducting supercolider vision. I would be interested in what your friend says about the above assertion. Unless I am way off base here, which I may be, what yall are doing not only is generating magnetic fields but serious electrostatic and elec...

Well I guess that I am saying something wrong or you have an aversion to snails. If you have MLB you will observe many when you turn the lights on. 30 minutes later you will observe only a a few if none. At night the MLB are a "h...l" of a cleanup crew. Their density can very easily be controlled vi...

Re: Malaysian trumpet snail - best loach for control

I actually like the MTS - a neat new part of my tank ecosystem. Further, my tank has never been so free of algae as it has since they colonized it and they don't eat plants. However, I have read that they can become superabundant and reduce water quality. Thus, I would like to control, not eradicat...

like a Mag Drive, 1800 GPH The pump I'm talking about dissipates about 145 watts Mike: I googled for this pump and it does not dissipate 145 joules of energy/second. The energy is distributed in the forms of kinetic energy, due to the mass and velocity of the water, and heat generation due to the i...

Re: Are Kuhli's sensitive to Micronutrients?

Folks: As you know I have very little experience with loaches but I have quite a bit of experience with liquid ferts and plants and am gaining experience with dry ferts. I dosed 5mL with the other ferts in the morning. Within 2 hours almost all the Kuhli were going nuts climbing the walls. I can bel...
