Re: koiquest forum
This is a great professionally footed forum that would be a great loss should it become a read only forum, in my humble opinion. I don't take a peek very often for the sheer fact there's not much traffic, chicken egg thing, plus I like a bit of chit chat. I find forums a live entity even if there's ...

Hi Duncan I wish you had replied to my thread your referring to when I asked the questions relating to phenoxyethanol and euthanasia, never mind to late now. Just for reference the stuff I purchased was 99% pure, absolutely clear and with no smell, I dispersed it by vigorous agitation before adding ...
