i love my cascades, but Nick hates them. i'm not entirely sure why, but i think it has something to do with the fact that they don't always self-prime.---------if de-virgination results in me being able to birth hammerhead sharks, SIGN ME UP!!! --misslake [ Parent ]
So long as algae stays green and doesn't pull the brown/black routine on me, I don't mind it. Back in Fairmont, MN, growing up? It was always the brown. Water straight from the tap had a HUGE amount of ammonia in it. To the point where the only way to have change water available was to run it through ammonia absorbing chips for a week. The other chemical treatments available just left you with a big ol' pile of nitrate. So much so it would kill your tank outright.
It's amazing I ever managed to keep any fish alive when I think about it.[ Parent ]
