Hi Folks -
Quick question: at the moment I'm using bicarb soda to controll the KH
value of my tank water. Is there a compound of potassium and carbonate
that would perform the same function? I've looked in the Krib, and an
article at
http://www.cco.caltech.edu/_aquaria/Krib/Plants/CO2/rift.html#6
refers to muriate of potash as KaHCO3 (sic). I know that muriate of
potash is KCl, so this article's probably not right. But I am interested
in the potassium / carbonate compound. Could someone expand on this:
what it is, and where to get it?
Also, to Eng Chuah: re: your post to APD 509 about terestrial fertiliser
and potted plants etc - how well do you think this would work with
annubias?
[BTW could someone also tell me what command to give the server to make
sure that I get the digests containing my posts? Private e/mail probably
preferable.]
Cheers, Chris.
