Hi all,
I’m still fairly new to this forum although I’ve registered for quite some time.
I emailed to Peter Finke 2 days ago and this is what I wrote;
Here’s another interesting subject that I hope to hear from your opinion. There is a similar topic in the Paros-project forum which you have all discussed there. However, I would like to include a few more things that have been in my mind for a while.
> An old/seasoned tank often accumulates a lot of mulm/decaying organic material at the bottom of the tank. I leave these stuff there whenever I do water changes, only siphoning the water column to about 30 – 40% and replace it with either 80% distilled water and 20% tap water or simply 100% distilled water/RO.
> Decaying leaves left in the tank creates a teem of microorganisms but I believe the species are different from the ones which usually occur in a normal aquarium (Those that obey the principle of biological cycling process).
Hope to hear from you. Thanks!
