couple questions

["Yvan Alleau" <yalleau@coas.oregonstate.edu>]

Hi All,

 

A friend of mine was offered a 55gal tank and asked me about a good
beginner's book. I've been keeping fish for the last 20 years but only 6 in
the US so I do not know of a good book to advise to him. Any suggestions?

 

My 2nd question concerns cyanobacteria. I have some growing in two 75 gal
tanks. I let my tanks unattended while I was gone for 10 days and that is
how they appeared. I am not for using products but despite weekly removal
and bi-weekly water changes they are still in. I am careful about feeding,
plant detritus monitoring... and therefore there is low OM in the tank.
Erythromycin is supposed to do the job. Would someone know where I could get
some (that is more than 10 tablets like what you find in stores) at a
reasonable price? Also, are there other products that can be used
(kanamycin, other.?). 

 

Thanks all,

Have  a great week
