I agree with ICU2 as well, and the opinion is quite correct. Nitrite is more deadly than nitrate, I personally would want to be able to test right away for everything if the problem arises I need to...
PH is relatively unimportant if your not going to test for KH. KH is what makes the PH stable so with no KH your PH is just going to bounce up and down between morning and evening. Ammonia is...
I think you did pretty good for a newbie picking a goshiki from a grow out. To me it appears male, Not the greatest pics to go by but that too takes practice and I've seen and taken far worse for...

I've got a couple of small Rhizomes that are starting up very nicely. They should be hot pink. Probably Emily Hutchings but could be one of the other pink varieties. Would be happy to send you one...
Dang Dan why do you have to live so far away! I could use some pointers from you on landscaping. I loved the walk through. I even put it on the 60" TV on HD to watch a second time. That was cool! If...
Koili, I think most of us agree in this, we all commend you for asking these questions up front and making an educated discussion on your plans for your pond build that best suites not only you but...
