What does Pete look like?

**PHalas** · 08-26-2007, 05:03 AM

I used Canadian peat moss, no preference to the canadian, but that was the only stuff I could find cost $2 for a bag big enough to do a 125 gal W/ loads left over.

Hey Awesomebean, hope you are not too phased by the lighter side of things that also makes this forum what it is, besides all the great info that can be gotten.

But anyway, for all you rigid conformists..Hit the link :-)

No need for foul language. Just acquire a sense of humor. Why can't people have fun?

I must agree with rodney on this one. If this was my first post i would not come back to this site. It would have been better if the first person to post would have corrected him then maybe all the funny comments would have been ok but not right off the bat. Just my two cents. Porbobly gonna be locked anyway

Go back and read the first few posts. Aside from the very first one which is quite frankly incomprehensible, the next two or three answered the question. Exactly what you wanted to happen did happen.

My point is that there is no point for danepatrick to unnecessarily offend people of faith over something so silly. Let's keep a bit of perspective in life: This is a discussion about peat moss on a site devoted to keeping aquariums. It's really not that important. It's not worth swearing over.

This one?

Momotaro · 08-28-2007, 08:29 PM

The question was answered.

The rest was good spirited fun. Now, no more swearing.

Lets all move on.

without reading any other responses, it's actually "Peat" (moss) and looks pretty much like bark. If you're planning on using it, the best way is to put a thin layer underneath your main substrate or perhaps inside your filter (inside a mesh bag), so you can remove it if you need to.

When you get Peat moss, make shure its organic type- there are some peat products out there that has fertilizers. And have some kind of Alkaline buffer ( commercial ph adjustment or if you can measure small: baking soda) available because if Alkalinity is low, your ph will drop. good/bad side of it your hardness can go down (some plants do better in hard water). or if you don't want moss mess in your tank, make up some peat water separately by soaking the moss inside some cheesecloth in a 5 gal buck of declorinated water and aireate with an airstone for a week, or you can buy the concentrated versions of this water under the names "blackwater extract" and "instant Amazon" too.
