Hello the Box!

Welcome to the Box!

Thank you, morpheus of Copperfield!

Just for fun:
Sam is my new female ginger tabby. This picture was taken her first night here: already relaxed, propped up on the bed and watching CAT_TV.

Thanks, Troy. I haven't used purigen either; just considering it.

Regarding low-tech: This is my preference also. My main tank is hardy/low-light planted with no CO2 and no ferts. My eldest tank is also low-tech: I recently tore it down due to OTS and re-set it as Walstad dirtbike tank. Will post a pic of the latter shortly but it's a bowfront with scratches and I'm a smart-phone photographer so prepare to be underwhelmed!

I think it means like stress coat. if you don't use prime or some other detoxifire. your fish will die.
I don't use purigen. I choose to be more low-tec

Feel free to ask any Questions. Start a new post. Show off your Tank. Post picture. Lots of pictures.

Thank you Troy; will do.

In fact here's a QQ re Purigen instructions not to use with slimecoat products: does this means only stuff like API Stresscoat? or does it include general dechlorinators like Prime?

Greetings to HFB forum from peaceful communitarian:

After weeks of lurking, at last I introduce myself as a returning hobbiest. Much has changed since I kept a 20-long with undergravel filtration and no clue as to basics like water parameters etc.

Current efforts include a couple of small (10g and 20g) Walstad dirtbike tanks which have not yet grown in, a 10g QT tank which ironically is itself re-cycling, and a planted low-tech 29g with 5 A. sidthimunki and 9 rummy nose tetras. This tank is in treatment for ich due to recent re-introduction of a former shoal member who spent the past week being harrassed by a bunch of silvertipped tetras in the 10g dirtbike tank until finally I could net and re-home her.

I don't know what I'm doing but will at least search prior threads before asking questions.
