Not necessarily. I use the API which says to use 1 drop per gallon of water, but I usually do 2. That's probably one of the reasons I got it instead of the other brands since it was easy to use no matter how much I needed. And API is supposed to be a trusted brand.

Well my sis found a Doberman for sale and mentioned it more jokingly than anything to mom. To our surprise mom actually started seriously thinking about it and then she decided about a month ago (the same day sis found it for sale) to get her to keep her company. She had one when her and my dad firs...

They can get there vitamin c from fresh fruit and veggies too. I think celery is one of the few veggies you don't want to give cuz of the stringiness of it. Can't remember on cabbage, lettuce is ok in small amounts too much can cause diarrhea. We gave ours lots of carrots, cantaloupe and watermelon ...

If I were you I think I'd try the ap water again only let it set overnight or put the dechlorinator stuff in it to see if that makes a difference. That would save you a lot of money.

Yeah I imagine a lot has changed. That was the only time I've ever been to the beach. Sometime in the next few years i'm hoping to take Haley cuz she's never been and she likes sharks. My husband grew up in Florida and Georgia though, so he has seen enough beach and isn't sure he wants to go back. I...

Guinea pigs are awesome, but noisy sometimes. They will whistle when they want a treat cuz they get used to the noise of the fridge or bags opening when its time for them to get a treat. Carrots are a favorite and we've had some that would eat Cheetos though I don't recommend that on a regular basis...

What about using gallon water jugs instead. Or when you used the tap did you add the dechlorinator stuff or just straight tap water?

Yeah it was kinda funny thinking back she was so well behaved in pre-k and kindergarten that the teachers were starting to wonder if she was actually developing normally and was slightly concerned. But both times during the 2nd half of school she would warm up and participate more and play with the ...

Very interesting I didn't know that.Haley was disciplined her entire young life but the last few years her discipline has been lax resulting in a very well behaved child for everyone else teachers ect.. and only a semi behaved for my mom, myself, and her dad. She will moderately talk back, complains...

Sounds like fun. I remember getting to go when I was in my early teens with the girl scouts. We drove all the way from Oklahoma making a few pit stops along the way. We visited Savannah Georgia, Tybee Island, and another spot on the beach as well. It was/still is funny I had never been to the beach ...

Case ya'll don't remember I work at a bait store so we sell minnows, worms, and a few other baits.Yesterday I change out part of the water cuz I notice we're losing a few more than normal. Checked the chlorine level and ph level they were fine so I went home and today I get back and we start losing ...

Welcome back! At least you remembered your login and password. More than I could say for myself waiting that long.

At first I though you put this in the wrong spot, but then I realized you were killing two birds with one stone and gave us an update on your crabs and your health at the same time.Sorry you feel so bad and glad your crabby is moving around again.Why do you have $200 in your tank. If its decorations...
