ndrobey Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have a question: Is the denitrifying bacteria in saltwater aquariums the same species as in freshwater aquariums? 1 Quote Link to comment
albertthiel Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have a question: Is the denitrifying bacteria in saltwater aquariums the same species as in freshwater aquariums? Well there is no easy answer as the whole process both in FW and SW aquariums is more complicated than just comparing denitrifying organisms .... yes that used to be what we all read but since then advances in our understanding of the processes that take place have been made. You may want to read this detailed article : http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2011/4/chemistry Hopefully that will clarify the process for you ... And on FW .... the principles are the same but the bacteria are not just what we thought they were : http://www.oscarfish.com/article-home/water/71-autotrophic-bacteria-manifesto.html There are more articles on the subject but the more scientific ones are not free and need to be purchased but the two links above should give you a better understanding I hope of the processes that need to occur Albert Quote Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 That hapd to me before, i had to use Google Chrome all of a sudden and then no problem with my pics. 1 Quote Link to comment
Paul.b Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thats cool but I am not getting Google Chrome. I used to have chrome on my 1966 Bonneville and it was a pain to polish. From now on I will just describe the picture I want to post. This is a picture of me jumping out of a plane over the Himilaya's And here I am fighting a Great White Shark. 1 Quote Link to comment
albertthiel Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I can't paste or post pictures on this forum any more, what happened? It works everywhere else. That is odd ... I FTP mine to my server and then use the insert image link to create the reference to it ... maybe you ran out of allowable space on the forum itself for storing/uploading pics and then including them in posts ... not sure but you could email an Admin and find out I guess ... You may need to become a premium member .... could be Or you should check with where ever you store pics now. Plain copy and paste does as far as I know not work on this forum. Hope your Santa Clausing went went ... and that you had some great Holiday Albert Quote Link to comment
albertthiel Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 They only allow pics of new tanks! They only allow pics of new tanks! .... sure not 42 year old tank anymore esp. not with RUGF's Just kidding Quote Link to comment
albertthiel Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 That hapd to me before, i had to use Google Chrome all of a sudden and then no problem with my pics. Strange indeed .. never happened to me for some reason but I do not upload the pics to the forum here but to my ISP via FTP and then just enter a reference to that pic using the that is visible when posting, but I guess you knew that Annette ....

Paul : When you upload pictures or try to, where do you store them first before creating a link to them in the posts you made, as you have been able to do it for as long as I can remember? In fact you did a few days ago with a pic of Greta .... There are several sites you can use but the forum itself allows you to upload pics so you can include them in your posts but I think there is a limit and you can increase that by becoming a premium member ... (the I support Nano-Reef.com) thingie you see under my name in the posts. Costs $12 if I remember well for 6 months or $2 a month which is not bad at all ... Just saying ... And on your description of the latest ones ... hopefully you had some real good warm clothing and protective gear on, as it gets pretty cold there :) Albert That hapd to me before, i had to use Google Chrome all of a sudden and then no problem with my pics. Where were you uploading your pics to first Annette if I may ask ? Albert Quote Link to comment

Everything worked a few days ago. I was 65 on Christmas, maybe now that I am on Medicaid, I am no longer elegible.

The reason I asked is that I developed a denitrifying filter for my tank. I am considering making these for sale and I would like it to work in both FW and SW tanks. Reef tank people need a denitrifying filter the most. Fish only and FW tanks don't have the same nitrate issues. 1 Quote Link to comment
