Potash in Planted tank?
Saw 'potash' in a nursery, looked like orange dirt. Rs. 30 for small packet. What is this potash, can it be used in planted tanks?

what happened to ???
I think Aquapetz does a lot of what it claims to do, short of spoonfeeding.

Potash also having Chloride which will release Chlorine in water. I thought it will not beneficial for fishes and other freshwater animals.

Can we keep potash mixed in water overnight so that chlorine will gas out, similar to municipal water?

Lets not make it all about aquapetz Romi ji, this thread needed some attention and my post got that (can't deny that, can you?)Romi wrote:what happened to ???

I did google it but I wasn't able to conclude anything, mixed answers from different forums and sites. Depending on the level of the hobbyist, some might actually need to be spoon fed.

You did 'make it very clearly' about Aquapetz Naufil, you wrote ''others turned a blind a eye on a forum which claims to provide 'for every solution of an aquarist''...That is exactly what is written on Aquapetz's masthead. This statement of yours has a direct and unduly challenging tone, instead of a courteous one.
I think when Rajiv wrote this slogan, he meant to say that an attempt would be made, and not that it came with a guarantee card. I don't think any hobbyist website guarantees that. ... enlighten me if there is one. I will join it too.... [/
