[GSAS-Member] Rift Lake Buffer Recipe

[Laurel Larsen <laurelthequeen@gmail.com>]

Considering the topic of tonight's presentation, I figured I'd send  
this out to whoever doesn't/hasn't kept Malawi/Tanganyika cichlids  
before or spends a lot more on buffers than they'd like.  Once again,  
cichlid-forum comes to the rescue with good reference material.   
Here's the link http://cichlid-forum.com/articles/buffer_recipe.php

I suppose you could alter the recipe if you have plenty of GH in your  
water but want to raise your KH or viseversa: "For every 5 US Gallons  
of water, add 1-tablespoon Epsom salt, 1-teaspoon baking soda, and 1- 
teaspoon marine salt."

If anyone needs some marine salt, I have a 5 gallon bucket that's  
pretty much full.  You're welcome to come by and pick some up, or we  
could meet sometime, I go to school at the UW in the morning, work in  
LFP in the afternoon and live in MLT.

If you have any questions about the needs or dietary requirements of  
any fish you picked up today, or you want to do some research for good  
potential tankmates, check out the profiles section of the site, or  
surf the forum.  There's some EXCELLENT information there. :)
