Re: Medications and peat moss..

["ALAN SMITH" <alsmith1@mindspring.com>]

The stuff I used is white and is for potable water..it is basicly like the
material used on uv filters...it may not be PVC..may be ABS plastic..do not
know...running a month now and no fatalities...since I have been running
these filters my fish have been spawning more than before the use of
these...they must like the brown gold color and the ph is more stable now
also..just need to know if the peat will absorb any medication if I need to
use any at some time.....
