• Where to get kalkwasser in Kyiv?

  • Adrienne

I've been tormented by Aptasia, they pop up in the most unexpected places... vinegar doesn't always work, I want to feed them kalkwasser, the question is, where can I buy it?

Brandi

Offtopic Euthanasia for Aiptasia, for short It seems that hydroxide is ordered by people in laboratories or pharmacies Aiptasia X or something like that is also sold... The chemical composition should be the same. I saw it in the Central Asia about a month ago.

It's better to get a Wunder Mantis shrimp, and even better a Helmon. I tried vinegar, Aptasia-X - no luck there, in the evening I got rid of three big ones, and in the morning five small ones grew back. I'm waiting for the aquarium to mature for the Helmon (if it dies, it's expensive).

I don't want to overpay just for the brand. I also used vinegar, but something tells me it's not entirely a healthy thing for the biological environment (it's too early for me to deal with shrimp). Where is this target audience located?

Erica

Why do you need it?

Rachel

Remind me, so I don't have to search for the topic - when did it start and what parameters were used? Was the water charged, it seems, and were the stones a bio-substrate? Was that in your topic?

I started in May, the rocks were dead) until I bought 3 kg of live ones and ocellaris from Vam (I know it's early). I didn't measure any parameters except salinity, which was 1.025; now there's nothing (all of Vam's rocks were covered)... and on the dead rocks, little rose corals occasionally appear... Also, Vam's rocks surprise me every day; sometimes they pop out, and yesterday I found a huge worm.)))

I realized that the best live rocks are when there's filamentous algae... well, now besides getting rid of aiptasia, the task is also to remove the filamentous algae... and there are still some pests that will mess things up... Take out the live rocks while it's still not too late and clean them thoroughly with a toothbrush over a basin of seawater, rinsing them in the water. Don't let the filamentous algae gain momentum, otherwise the aquarium will become dirty and messy, and the pests will just overwhelm it... The anemones also need to be dealt with. They don't belong there...

Will this procedure harm the ophiuroids and the colony of Zaonatus, which have even started to breed? Is there a less radical way? Here is the photo:

Take a container, fill it with water from the aquarium, immerse the stone in it, and gently clean it with a toothbrush, avoiding areas with living organisms. This is the most effective method.

+1 with Anatoly and, regarding the threadfin. It's better to clean it now. It would be better to check the ammonia. If the ocellaris feels fine for 2-3 days, then the shrimp can definitely be introduced.

The ocelaris has been lively since day one, eating artemia and the leftover minced food from the deceased discus, but it only lives by the overflow column and won't budge from there for anything... it's a rather uninteresting fish, you can only see it if you know where to look.

I would buy shrimp. It would be more interesting later.

What kind? And where in Kyiv can you buy marine life? I only worked with Tkachenko, he has left for now... and then there’s the story with the stones...

Mario

I disagree, I love them very much, they are funny and eat from my hands. In one aquarium, I have ones brought from afar, they are almost two years old and are constantly spawning. Here is a video of them.

Kathy

He was put into a bare aquarium, and it's my fault... he just had nowhere to live, although he also lived under the overflow at Vama... he eats well, but he doesn't swim more than 10 cm away from the overflow... so I feed him with tweezers...

When there were no sarcophytons and actiniae, I threw in gracilis algae (red lobe) and they lived in it constantly, even when the sarc appeared a month later, they settled in it, and when the actinia appeared an hour later, they were already in it. Suggest something to them; someone, I don't remember who, wrote that clownfish favored Batriocladia algae and lingered there for a long time.

They were discussing "lollipops." The camels are being mischievous. We need to call everyone: IReef, the Aquarium Center. There are also some on the forum, but they are further away. However, all together they offer a very wide selection.
