Re: Getting some MS222

They seem a good supplier, rapid dispatch well packed and a pack insert which gives dosing in different fish species. Recommended.

Re: Missing Duncan

I also miss his posts. They often were open questions which kept me thinking for a week or two, then you could always rely on Duncan to put your mind at rest by giving you the correct answer. A fabulous teacher sadly missed.

Re: filtertech digistat

Hey guys and girls; While we are on the subject of failure of electrical thermostatic control systems as Manke said the commonest cause, IMO is water getting into the thermistor. The sensors seems to be meant for air and then protected against water by using heat shrink rubber sleeving so it’s no su...

Re: koi health couse

Hi Gazza;
Perhaps we can split the work and still offer the course with Duncan's leadership. I am pretty sure that Sparsholt College just round the corner from me would provide the support to add it to their already in place one day course.

Re: flukes

Has any one an opinion on praziquantel (Fluke-Solve)? The makers claim it works down to 3 deg. The product has been specially formulated to be soluble. It has been around for vets use for a long time and it has been used in humans and seems to work well but I haven't seen much about success or other...
