Is my gritty mix okay?
Comments (4)Hello Al! Yes, I screened the ingredients and the poultry grit is not limestone and shellfish. It looks like quartz, I really don't know,I checked on the site of the compagny ,but I was unable to find what it was... Yes I know repti bark is expensive, and here in Canada they sell only 8 quarts bag... The Turface was not that hard to find, I went on Turface MVP website and I was able to find a distributor near Montreal. It's a big greenhouse that make fertilizer and sells to other greenhouses and even farmers. The turface was bit more expensive than yours because I'm in Canada and it cost 17$, but when I saw the bag, I said OMG it's big. If someone is interested their name is Plant Prod and their website is: http://www.plantprod.com/ Thanks Al Samuel Forest...See Moreplease help, my fish are dying.... pics included
Comments (16)thank you all for your input. i did get her an air stone after i posted about it. i was so worried she did not have enough oxogen i barrowed enough to get the stone. jalal, that is exactly how mine started. there was the white fuzzy stuff all over her back fin. i have not been able to find out what it was as of yet. but the other fish seem to be ok so far. i did notice a white spot on the head of one of my other koi he is all black except on the bottom he is orange. but he is eating and very active. i'm going to keep a very close eye on him and if it seems to spread or anything, he is going in a sick tank imediatly. i have been treating my pond with malafix so i hope it is nothing to worry about. i so hope. i don't know if the koi are anything special or not. i'm so new to koi. but where i live there is a very limmited supply of koi, and the pond, pet store was having a koi show so i thought maybe there were a better quality. but since my ph was very low they would not refund or replace my fish. i did get some ph buffer to raise the ph to a normal range. i did this 2 days ago and the ph is still at 7.0. but i only have the test strips. i'm going to get a more acurate testing kit as soon as possible. the cheapest i have been able to find is 40.00 and it only tests for 5 things. and no amonia test. but i'm searching the net for a better on. angelcub, there is a petsmart about 3 hours away, but with that type of garuntee i'm definatly going there for my next koi. i'm going to call first to see if they have the butterfly koi. i just love them, they are so preaty. i have one butterfly left. he is yellow and black. a very lovely fish. he seems to be dong so good so far. i thank you all for your help, and kind words. any fish i get from now on are definatly going to go in a quariteen tank.. that is for sure. i got my 60 gallon pond up and running today. as soon as it is stable and tests ok, i'm going to put my 3 commets in there. that should help with some of the stress of my other pond being sort of over populated. i also got a valve for my watter fall that regulates the flow. a neighbor had some sort of ball thing for plumming and he put it in. now the waterfall is going much slower and the pump is not pulling as hard. i am hoping this will also be less stressfull on the fish. i'm doing all i can figure out to do. i hope it will work and keep my fish safe, happy, and healthy. oh yeah i also started putting in good bacteria 4 days ago. does this help with the fish staying healthy??? BIG HUGS, i so apreciate all of your help.. laura...See MoreDoes my new brug look okay?
Comments (2)Hi bruggirl100: Almost two months later, after I followed your suggestions (planted that sucker in the ground; fed it with Epsom salt, fertilizer, and seaweed extract), my brug now has blooms. I am so happy. It looked like a piece of crap before. Now it looks like an angel with lots of blooms. And the fragrant is out of the world. I counted the blooms. There are about 14 of them. ItÂs Thanksgiving and I am getting blooms. Unbelievable! My daughter wrote the following: I have a daughter named Michelle and she helped me plant the trumpet. I would really like to thank her for all her work. Thanks again bruggirl100. Brian (from sunny Southern California)...See MoreIs my Lychee Okay
Comments (6)kobe, if it were mine I would just build a small shelter for the tree instead of stressing the tree more and disturbing the roots. Since its a small tree it shouldn't be hard to make a makeshift "wind shelter". I did this for my lychee trees and kept it there for a little over two years and it made such a difference(until the freeze killed it)...especially on the new growths since they are very tender and sensitive to wind over 15mph. You can use just about anything to build it...PVC, wood posts, fencing. You can use shade cloth, burlap. Check out the picture below...Hope it helps.
