Hot Gravel & Laterite source (fwd)
Hi,
first of all, sorry for my bad English. Hopefully you understand, what I mean
:-)
Earle wrote in his forwarded message:
>> If you read TOA you will note they recommend using 1/3 laterite mixed into
the gravel and use that mix for the bottom 1/3 of the tank. This is in
conflict with the Duplairit instructions which would have you use much less.

I'm possesing the German original of TOA, and there is a table which lists
the recommended amount of laterit vs. tank size:
Surface ar. Volume gravel Duplarit (laterite)
sq. ft. gal. gal. grams
3.4 30 4 250
5.4 53 9 500
8.4 92 18.5 1000
11.2 137 30 1500
(Sorry, don't know how to convert g into oz. :-))
