BioKit Fresh - Whats it all about?





Hi Guys,

I recently posted a request for members to try out some Prodibio Biokit Fresh additives. I received lots of requests but as I was given 10 boxes, I could only pick 10 people for this review. Thanks for all the interest and if you were not able to taker part this time round, I have kept your name for the next batch which is due out soon.

Here is the official description of the product:

  • Combines all the products needed to maintain a planted freshwater aquarium in the same pack.
     
  • BioDigest:
    - composed of live bacterial strains
    - aquarium cleaning by waste matter digestion is helped by the presence of numerous different strains of heterotrophic bacteria
    - nitrates and phosphates are reduced in your freshwater aquarium
    - enables water to be effectively purified
    - prevents the spread of filamentous algae
    - converts ammonia into nitrites - nitrites into nitrates - and - nitrates into nitrogen
  • BioTrace:
    - contains all the microelements needed for aquarium life (amino acids, enzymes, natural vitamins…)
    - provides trace elements: sulphur for proteins, iron for plants and fish blood...
    - dynamises the cellular metabolism of most of the bacteria living in fresh water aquarium
    - BioTrace speedily accelerates the digestion of organic matter
    - fIt also facilitates the elimination of nitrates and phosphatesty
  • BioVert:
    - provides all the trace elements your plants need for strong and healthy growth, including directly bio-assimilable iron
    - is nitrate and phosphate-free
Instructions are simple:
121 to 200 litres
1 vial   / 15 days
201 to 400 litres
2 vials / 15 days
401 to 600 litres
3 vials / 15 days
601 to 800 litres
4 vials / 15 days
801 to 1000 litres
5 vials / 15 days
These additives are 100% fish and shrimp safe and have a shelf life of 3 years (even in direct sunlight) As each dose is contained within a separate vial, you get live bacteria each time you dose. This is something that would normally deteriorate over time with bottled products.

Im looking forward to using this on my main tank. I have been using the Biovert until now which has shown fantastic growth so I have high expectations for this.

I will be reviewing the benefits as I go along and will also do a little video showing how easy it is to dose. Look out for the other reviews from Lothian Fishkeeper members too.

Bye for now guys

Betta 1050 Canister filter review

Hi Guys,

For most of us money dictates which direction our hobby goes. Wether its opting for a lesser adventurous fish or a smaller aquarium, Money always has the final say. If we could visit our local store and take whatever we wanted, our homes would be filled with shiny new aquariums running of the biggest external filters you could imagine.

When I first started fish keeping, everything I was able to get my hands on was preowned. Aquariums should always be passed on when your done with them, I think anyway! I was young when I started and with a lack of free cash, the chance of a new (to me, anyways) filter was always welcomed.

Its great to be able to buy the best but sometimes your fish keeping funds just don't allow that and we have to look for cheaper alternatives.

There is a few brands out there that are working hard to offer products that can compete on functionality and quality while trying to keep the price tags realistic. One of those brands is 'Betta'

They offer …

Barilius Bakeri - The Blue Spotted Hill Trout

The Barilius Bakeri or Blue spotted Hill Trout is a shoaling fish you won't see very often in the local fish stores. Originating from the Western Ghats mountains in southwestern India, these Cyprinidaes offer an appealing alternative to the usual barbs/danios.
You may see these fish being sold under several names like 'blue-dotted mirror fish' or 'royal danio' all sporting the catching bluish-green spots along the length of the body. These spots begin to fade slightly as the fish ages. a paper white flick is also present on the tip of the dorsal and anal fins.

Compatibility
In the aquarium they should be kept in groups of five or more. This will allow the species to develop a pecking order and prevent other smaller fish being targeted. If kept in a smaller group, the smallest fish could become a continuous target for the more dominant fish and if kept individually, they would eventually become aggressive to any similar looking fish in the aquarium. With this in min…

Tri-Spec App controller - Review - *updated*

Hi Guys,

Lighting is a key factor in a successful planted tank. Some plants require a lot and some prefer less. knowing your plants needs is just as important as knowing your fish needs and having the right lights for your aquarium is a must. It is also important to consider the amount of time you have your lights switched on for too. This is called the "photo period" and the general advised length of time is a maximum of 9 hours.

For years, the best way to achieve a regular automatic lighting routine was to employ the services of a socket timer. These nippy little buggers consisted of a dial in which you would pick out the relevant time slots for whatever time you wanted the socket to power on for. Ive personally used these for CO2 setups and they do what they are supposed to do. I personally didn't like the extra space they took up, but maybe that was just the style I had.

It wasn't until LED light units started being introduced to the hobby that we really had a mod…
