Green Light Stump Remover

Nope, added enough. In fact a lot of it. Half a teaspoon in one test
tube.

I suppose that proves Sexton's point about the sporadic success of the
AP test.

OK, here is a challenge for you. Find out what is in Flourish Excel.
I dare you! Seriously, I really want to know.

I don't have icing sugar so I used regular sugar. I made a small loop
with a fine wire, and managed to get some stump remover and sugar
mixture on it. I placed it over a candle flame. Fizz!! The mixture
bursted into flame. Yep, it reminded me of an incidence when I was
younger when I made gun powder with KNO3 from my chemistry set. The
upshot is that the result from the experiment supports the claim the
the stump remover is KNO3.

Wow, first experimenting with microbes to generate CO2, now making
explosive mixtures, this hobby is getting more exciting with every
passing day!

It says right on the label: polycycloglutaracetal.

Oops, must have missed it. All that small prints. Thanks.

Oh btw, I found an article on the web about Zebra Danios:
http://freshaquarium.about.com/cs/fi...l/aa060799.htm

"Zebras are particularly susceptible to Oodinium, or Velvet disease.
When purchasing fish avoid any that have clamped fins, or look
emaciated, as they may be infected."

You know that description about the emaciation is consistent with my
observation that they were wasting away. I looked at my surviving
Zebras and all looked fine. I think the disease may have come in with
the Crawfishes that were temporarily in that tank. I suspect that
wasthe case since I did not buy anything for months. Well, either that
or the disease was lying dormant in them.

Velvet is really east to spot if you shine a flashlight on
them. You'll see very obvious tiny grains of sand looking
dots all over the fish. They're quite small but you'll see
zillions of them like a light disting of icing sugar,
except sand colored.

I use acriflavine but any decent antiparasitic will work. The
but neds light to photosynthesize so even a blackout will cure them.

I was just cruising Untergasser and saw that Oodinium can grow inside a
fish's intestine. They only rely partly on photosynthesis so a blackout
isn't a complete cure. Blackout plus antiparasitic is probably ideal.

But do they reproduce there? WOuldn't the get expelled and become
free-swimming (then die).
