Re: [GSAS-Member] Mineral Rock
Hi Shango,
Just an FYI that Turface Pro League Grey, Soilmaster Select Charcoal, and
Thrifty-Sorb from Autozone are all about 95% "Heat Treated Montmorillonite
Clay Mineral". Depending upon where it from, additional other minerals will
be found in it as well such as quartz, iron, manganese, etc.

Does anyone have any experience with mineral rock? I have seen it come up
on some shrimp boards but am unconvinced. Is this something that would be
either A. good for my tank's biology or B. good for my shrimp?
Thanks for your experience.
Shango

This is what they market it as...
- Very popular Crystal red shrimp whitening minerals for breeders and colour
enhancer for fish breeders.
- The rich natural elements enhance the creamy white color of shrimps and
colour of fishes and keep them healthy
- 3 pcs of rocks may last up to 6 months in 50 gallon tank (duration might
vary depending on water parameters)
- Mineral produced in Limited Mountain at Yasawagi district in Akita
prefecture, Japan.
Those who live at the district used to take this clay as secret medicine for
diarrhea, injury, toothache etc.They call the clay marvelous soil or magic
white soil. It is a wonderful gift from the earth, which cannot be produced
artificially.
-Help maintain a good water quality
- The pure natural Montmorillonite mineral rock is a lump of useful mineral
groups .
- Contains 16 necessary minerals such assilica acid,
aluminum,calcium,magnesium, sodium, ferrous etc. around the core. These
effective minerals keep water clean and help to supply nutrition dissolving
slowly into water through ion exchanges
Fishes and Shrimps bred in soil bottom pond of breeding district have glossy
color like jewels.Their glossy color fade when they move into concrete made
ponds or fish tanks. Why?It has been explained for long time because there
is no soil in concrete made pond or fish tank. Some studies of soil ponds
show that bottom of good soil ponds are usually made with clay or have
mineral rock which contain rich amount of minerals.

Hi again all,
Lots of posts from me today.
Does anyone have experience growing Cryptocoryne lingua submerged? Most of
what I am finding online suggests it really fails submerged not being an
aquatic by nature. However, I haven't found any discussion of what it might
do under good lights and CO2.
Thanks
Shango

If you get a Cryptocoryne lingua in Seattle I will be happy to culture it
immersed to share.

I think I've got it all back working... trying a larger mailing list. If
anyone finds anything busted (website, archive, heck, I'm even turning the
search engine back on after it finishes indexing. :).... let me know.

Hi Erik,
Wow the site really seems quicker; did you do a hardware upgrade along with
the phpBB software upgrade? I tried the "Search" and it worked great as
well. We have seen quite an increase in posts to our GSAS Member Chat in
the last few years haven't we?
Roy

Ah, so it IS working for you now Roy!
Yes, there was a hardware upgrade. I looked it up, because I wasn't
completely sure, but we've been running on the same basic hardware since
July 2004. When I bought it, I thought forward and got a 64-bit processor
with the idea that I might not replace it for several years, which sure
turned out quite true. The replacement is not brand-new -- it's a
dual-core, and has a lot more memory, but it's noticably faster than the
old setup. The main drive has also been replaced, so there might be some
speed there.
There were also software updates across the board, some of which I was
still applying at 2 AM last night. I'm a little loopy still. So,
apparently, is the torrent tracker. Ah well.

Speaking of the torrent tracker. Is there a way I can download and watch the
old talks? I've downloaded the shrimp, and plant talks. And bought the Dvd,
but i would sure love to be able to download some old talks, like the one on
geophagus etc :)
Thanks,
Cory
