MTS: too much of a good thing?
In a message dated 99-11-14 03:53:26 EST, you write:
<< I have so many MSTs in my 30 gallon tank, I can't see the fish. I finally
found a way to kill them in a ten-gallon without disrupting the substrate.
I
pulled out all the plants and fish, and dumped a bunch of muriatic acid into
it. The gravel fizzed for three days, and not one MST is left. I will do
the same to my 30 gallon in the near future, but I am somewhat reticent, as
the plants are finally getting a start there. >>
why such drastic measures? snails need some minerals in the water (to build
shells). if you keep your water soft and acidic, their population will
decline.
