Swee boh?
I know I once said I don't like Oranda but... lately I've been quite fascinated by them especially if they have massive headgrowth. I also said I don't like calico goldfish ... but... given a choice... I still prefer a "normal" goldfish.  Here's the first of two I bought in Hong Kong.  |

QUOTE(kingyoo @ Thu 29 Jan 2004 02:35 AM) Epsom salt is NOT a salt, we just call it that. It is magnesium sulfate hydrate. It looks like salt in crystalized form. No worries. Long answer.... Thank you my dear. I just spend some time reading up on Epsom Salt at the Epsom Salt Industry Council and found many interesting facts about it. I'm going to get some today at the drug store, not only for my goldfish but my own use too. I have to get a GH test kit as well. QUOTE(kingyoo @ Thu 29 Jan 2004 02:35 AM) There are two kinds of hardness that we consider with fish keeping. Permanent hardness and alkalinity (kH) So, kh plus Permanent hardness equals general hardness (gH). I usually dose enough Baking Soda to raise the kH from 0dKH to 4dKH (clear water) or 8dkH (green water). In this scenario, let's use Epsom Salt for permanent hardness. Suppose the "ideal" GH is 10. A 10 degrees GH can be archive in the following combination:- 8kH + X amount of Epsom Salt 4kH + Y amount of Epsom Salt 1kH + Z amount of Epsom Salt Which combination is the correct one, or did I misunderstood your explanation on GH?   Sorry sorry sorry. The above scenario is completely wrong. Please ignore. Total Hardness = GH + KH http://www.fishdoc.co.uk/water/hardness.htm |
