Awesome thanks for the info...perhaps that will be my next splurge purchase!!  

So sorry to hear that daize.   Hope the rest of the stock pulls through. 

If he used 30ppm of NO2-N wouldn't the conversion to ion simply be:   30 x 3.28443 = 98.53   I think you are mistakenly using the NO3-N conversion.    WOW - 18-20 tanks...I have trouble keeping up with my 1 tank! :lol:   I have moved to using digital testers for pH and TDS.  Out of curiosity are...

  Yes its a good question.  I even sent API a link of the video.  Obviously API is backing their product.  Like you, I would be more inclined to believe Dr. H.  But I as I mentioned previously I wish his test would have been done using a level that is more realistic.         I thought 30ppm of...

I have been meaning to follow up on this thread as I did get a response from API.  Unfortunately it is an email so I don't have a link to post but here is the response that I got:         The representative who responded did say that they confirmed this with "the lab".  Not really much a...

Looking good so far!! What are you thinking of stocking it with? Besides plants of course!! :lol:

TTA - thx for the response. I appreciate you taking the time. I am fully aware of Dr Hovanec's background and the groundbreaking research he has done. I have actually read his research on AOB and NOB....which I sort of have you to thank for since it was you who piqued my curiosity about the...

Thx man! It's not quite the same as piranha action but they are still fun to watch! :)

   Thx Ryan. The Pennywort grows like a weed!! Thx spacewolf! Appreciate the compliment. Good luck with your tank!!
