Hey, Not just for the latter, but in general, in my opinion. Approx. calculation: If you take fish food with 25% protein content, and take an average of 2% "weight of the fish" as food per day, we're generating 0.07 grams NH3/NH4 per 100g of fish. Let's round this to 0.1 grams. To convert...

Hey everyone! Been a long time, since I've been taking part in more international fish forums ... and now that Felix (@f_luxus) is here, I just had to follow. :D My name's Dominic, 37 years old, south-west Germany. Been into fish tanks for well over 20 years now, and probably have too many of...
