Sokoleo,   In same sitaution as you with high nitrates coming out of tap at new house.  I RO'd at my old house and will have a new system put in at this house.  I have always used Seachem Equilibrium and Alkaline buffer for the past 5 years.  I have read and have been told that Equilibrium is...

Thanks Steven/Michael,   Steven, the more feedback I get the plant method to reducing nitrate in a holding tank seems like it could be pretty laborious,  The more I think to myself, the more I am leaning towards going back to RO.  I calculated that I need about 100 gallons a week for water...

Thanks Michael,   ​I took a look at their website and it looks like they offer a whole house nitrate removing system.  Not that I would go this way.  The more I think about it I would probably go back to RO before I went with that option.   Hoping Pothos plants in a hydroponics setup in my 100...

Thanks Steven,    Yes I RO'd water at my old house on the well and it worked well.  Now that we are on public water my cost for water per month would go up substantially.  Here is the report for our water back from 2015, most current report.   Had trouble pasting the link, but if you enter into...

Thanks Michael. ​I ran RO on my well with an average 30-50PSI and my membrane was still working after 4 years.  I initially bought a pump to push the PSI up but it was such a pain.  I stopped using the pump and the RO system still worked fine.  I had a DI portion also but that would only work...

Thanks Byron, Here are some more pics.  I believe I would try the hospital tank first and treat the ram there.     Two observations - looks like fish is puckering for a kiss and some deep red spots behind mouth.   Keeping my fingers crossed.  I hate when these things happen as they consume my...

Thanks for the note Byron.   I will try to get another picture or two tonight that is easier to see.  Here is my dilemma.  I have to leave for California on Dec 9th and won't return until the 15th.  I figured for a normal 5 day treatment with say Mardel Maracyn I would want to start tomorrow in...

Good evening all, Hoping to get some advice on my german ram that looks like it has some sort of mouth fungus.  See front left side of mouth.    Parameters: 90 gallon largest fish in the tank ( single ram ) w/ harlequin ras, neons, cardinals, and rummy nose temp 78-80 0,0, 5-10 Ph 7 ish, Kh...
