Hey Dogfish!

I had a couple of questions about setting up my 50 gallon tank. I posted them in a current thread, but as usual, I killed the thread.

Here goes!


Is the capping material berm necessary, or is it just so you don't see the dirt?

Two inches of dirt will do?

Can you do the new soil float it/skim it for floatables/wood bits in the new tank itself, or does it really need to be done in a bucket first? I'm trying to save an already injured back by not lifting buckets of wet soil.

thanks for your input,

Sorry, I always have dumb questions...
Where do I post the capsules pictures and results of the test?? in "Toxicten''? I can't find much of a poop thread. Or just open a new thread with my results?

So how is it going??
Still running the fert test, no measurable results yet!

The dose of Organic fertilizers is a marked difference in the coloration of the plants, even the root feeders (I never believed that aquatic plants are solely root feeders anyway)

Got in 6 pellets this morning and will kick off the test later.

Since using the Neptunes emulsion, besides greener plants, I have noticed some of the algae dying off too. Haven't tried it yet on a shrimp tank.

Tyrying to keep an eye on the Post Office.... Have you sent the fert tabs yet??

85OR - I only said Pooppie one time but I used the word that starts with "S". I didn't post 3 of them??? Strange.

Note to self use the word Poop in the future.

HA to the censorship at the end of your post - unless you typed it like that. I can show you how to beat that [For more emotionally satisfying pms - If you want]

Sounds like money well spent, I apologize if you got 2 pms, I really wasn't sure this mornings went thorugh & I tried to check my outgoing here and it said zero but meh..

Later on.

Good morning Dogfish,

Just a note to say that it was a real pleasure hanging with you at the swap & I look forward to soaking up some tips from you and some others around this joint.

I have lurked here on & off over for quite a while & will continue to do so no doubt but I will be nice to be posting a bit also.

Have a great day.

Later on, 850R
