Re: [APD] Stocking Levels
"And yet millions of fish are still killed within a week of purchasing them?
We've had the correct bacteria discovered for decades now and it's still not
sold by many shops or supplied as standard with tanks.
Personally I think a bottle of Safestart or One and Only should be sold with
every tank system. In the UK every tank system is sold with a filter. Be
nice if they had the bacteria to go alongside it as well. ;-)"
Well, Stuart, many people here believe that the "canned" bacteria starter
cultures
are a waste of money, particularly in a planted tank, since the nitrifying
bacteria
are already present on them. I've never used a product like that, even in a
plantless
aquarium. Mulm or water from an established tank is even better.
Why is every tank sold in the UK equipped with a filter? Is the tank
filter lobby that
strong? <g>
