| | Thats a good question Nick. I always thought it was a type of mulm, you
|
know
| | from plant and fish waste. I pulled out the Webster this morning after
|
reading
| | your post. Heres the definition of Detritus.
1. Rock in small particles or other material worn or broken away from a
|
mass, as
| | by the action of water or glacial ice.
2. Any disintegrated material; debris.
I need to clean my tank this weekend I do have plenty of "detritus"
Which brings me to my next point, My new style fluval 204, the package
|
said 180
| | gallon an hour, I figured plenty circulation for a 29 tall. Well if that
|
thing
| | is pumping 50 gallons an hour I would be shocked! I'm very disappointed
|
in it.
| | I beleive it's a good part of the detritus problem I have going on. I'm
|
trying
| | to talk my wife into buying a tank for her classroom so I can give it to
|
her and
| | buy myself something better. Any suggestions for a good canister style
|
filter
| | out there?

I think detritus is just fine. My vote is to keep it as it is.
I also would like to see some/more/any discussion regarding aquatic
plants.
|
I concur that detritus is a good name.
Plant discussions abound, but they are usually either on the local
|
|
|
SFBAAPS
| | | | | | list or the world-wide Aquatic Plants Digest, sorta leaving this list
|
|
|
for
| | | | | | "all other topics." ;-)
