    Kalk Mix

    After some searching, it seems that Kent, ESV, and Mrs. Wages are very close in price when considering shipping charges. I plan on dripping, not pumping. Kent is maybe $2 per pound more expensive. Price being almost equal, what would most people recommend?

    Metal Halides for sale

    Right now, I have two potential local buyers. I'd prefer not to ship. Also, shipping will probably be expensive. If you want to make an offer and are willing to pay shipping costs, I would keep your offer in mind behind the other two interested people. I think it's only fair to give them the...

    What could be so bad...

    I had just done a water change last week. But I plan on doing another this weekend. I'm traveling tomorrow and Thursday. I have been using about a capful every week. Hadn't improved the xenia anyway so I'll probably stop adding it.

    What could be so bad...

    I am using RO/DI top off water...maybe 5-10 gallons per week. What buffer would you guys recommend? I started using Kent liquid calcium and kent Marine Superbuffer dKH Buffer and KH Builder when I added the frogspawn. I will be switching to B-Ionic when I can get to the LFS that carries it.

    What could be so bad...

    Since I didn't have anything other than the xenia before getting the frogspawn, I wasn't measuring for or adjusting for calc or alk. The only additives were recent. I've been adding microvert, DT's Phyto, and Iodine(was told it's good for xenia). Other than that, nothing.

    What could be so bad...

    I mix the water in a large rubbermaid tub. Sits with a PH and heater for at least 24 hours. Alk levels might be a problem. Would high pH be a possible culprit? I know this sounds odd, but could the tank be understocked and the alk is increasing rather than decreasing?

    What could be so bad...

    I may not have temp acclimated them long enough. I had a 30 minute drive home and it was cool out, so it may have cooled the water and maybe I didn't allow it enough time to come back. But what would be the reason for the Xenia not growing for the last 6 months? There can be anything rotting...
