Re:organic aqua revisited - Part I 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Only in the last few weeks have I been getting a little hair algae.I periodically wash the filters in tank water. another confession... I very rarely use the airstone and the lid would not be open for extended periods.I allways thought that you did'nt need an airstone with OA.thanks for all the advise folks

Re:organic aqua revisited 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Steve, am I right in thinking that doing the 25% water change once a month ther is no need for dechlorinator with the use of OA.

I started using it a month ago. Thanks to Damien and Adrian in Petstop. I had a bad case of fin rot in the tanks and since I ysed OA the fish are looking great.

I do use a filter with sponges so do I need to clean them in tap water? I usually clean them in tank water once a month! A bit confused on this aswell!!

Thanks,

Leonie

Hi Leonie,

You are correct in assuming that there is no need to use any other dechlorinator when using OA.

With regard to washing your sponges, tap water is the prefered method when using OA.

Best of luck with the tank,

Cheers,

Steve

Tks for the reply Steve.

No, I don't use OA as I only read about it after i'd setup and cycled my tank.

I've only the one 4 foot tank for my Oscars and I actually quite enjoy the weekly/bi-weekly water changes and keeping the gravel clean with a gravel-vac. It keeps me focused on the tank & fish and helps me spot any problems in advance. For me, in the past, good aquarium maintenance & water changes was the cornerstone of the 'keep the green at bay' challenge. A larger than required biological filter either internal or external combined with weekly/bi-weekly water changes kept my readings at Ammonia 0ppm, Nitrite 0ppm, Nitrate ~10ppm which is optimal. Can definitely see huge benefits to anyone keeping multiple tanks or a commercial fish shop setup where the maintenance is a real chore & hence often skimped on or indeed overlooked.

Many people have spoken of the health benefits of OA and from your previous post I derive that this comes from the 'Health Treatment (H.T.)' portion of the product. Is this available to buy separately and can I use this with the same benefits in my standard setup biologival filter tank? I have in he past used Tetra Blackwater Extract and API's Melafix.

Thanks Steve.

Tm2204 I have bought the HT in a tub in my lfs and used it with out the B-Bac or the GH treatments and it has worked a treat. I know Petstop in Blanch sell all 3 parts of the OA maintenence kits seperately and in various sizes.

www.organicaquariums.co.za/

Here is the link to the OA site which gives more detail.

@Steve - I should be getting freebies for this - Only kidding!!

First decent dicussion in ages and you seem determined to make it into a farce. What is the youtube link for, apart for being totally unsuitable it is 100% irrelevant.

If you want to critise OA please do so in a constructive manner, you have not even tried the stuff!!

Sorry its was posted at 2AM , there was 2 utube links the one that's left is funny the other one enough said , I glad its removed they do not call me Father Jack for now reason.

The text copied from the website is relevant to the thread, basically the have no North American office, may be the U.S rules don't yet allow the sale of it´, the marketing behind the Organic is amature, If my business had a website this amature I would be embarrassed, not to mention a guy with a mob number in the U.K.

Basically I think the product is a good idea , it just how its marketing is not good enough, PG tips also sells tea leaves but the diffrence is how they market/marketing is done.
