I used dark green 3/4 liter bottles. Bought new corks and once sealed, dipped the tops in melted wax. Turned all bottles once a month. Opened a 4 year old bottle and it tasted better than fresh although a bit drier than the original. Stored in pitch black room in the basement at a steady 55-60 degrees.

I am glad I stumbled across this q & a section, as I was intending to purchase this for canning veggies. I am a first-time canner, but grew up around the process of "Water Bath Canning" as well as the use of a Pressure Canner. My question, if anyone can help, What is a good dependable safe Pressure Canner for a Beginner? I appreciate any suggestions I can get..., thank you in advance ~ Denise

Twin 30 or 40 gal tanks with an automatic change-over regulator would be a pretty good working arrangement. Keep in mind, the bigger the tanks the heavier they are when you take them in to get filled. ;-)

I use Spectrum Organic Coconut oil, but there are many brands to choose from. I usually "eyeball" my oil mixtures, but try about 4 tbl. spoons of c. oil + 3-4 drops of essential oil. These oils come with a wonderful booklet with tons of information! Also, this company sells carrier oils as well- lots to choose from with lots of info!

Hi Cathy. I used pint jars just fine. I'm sure half pint (jelly jars) will be fine as well. Have fun!

You bought the best silver. Go to http://www.purestcolloids.com/mesosilver.php and read about the silver. Read about colloid silver vs ionic silver. A dark container is great, but you will use it up before the clear bottle causes any problems. Silver color that is dark is good. Clear is bad. This is what I purchase. You are a very smart consumer. This is good for external/internal use. I believe I may order their gallon size.

you don't want to base just on this, remember your tubing, blocks, res, etc. I am currently using this with a quad 120mm res, a CPU block, dual gpu blocks and I used just over 32oz. I would recommend grabbing 2 liters/64oz or more. Remember this stuff needs to be refilled over time. It is also a great ideal to flush once in a while, but it's not required.A great brand of coolant, what I personally always use, is primochill.This is an awesome res, first one I got happened to have a dead pump, but XSPC is wonderful support wise and it is EXTREMELY rare to grab a dead product from them in the first place. HIGHLY recommend them. you don't want to base just on this, remember your tubing, blocks, res, etc. I am currently using this with a quad 120mm res, a CPU block, dual gpu blocks and I used just over 32oz.

Ditto what Genelee said. I have a large overstocked tank, had too much nitrates using biomax until I started using matrix. The anaerobic bacteria live deep, help reduce nitrates and that's why a highly porous substance works better. I am no expert but for me this worked. Also why I put large lava rocks (I found in the desert) in my tank- These big rocks saved the fish when the canister stopped and didn't notice for a week. I recommend matrix and get yourself some lava rocks, they look great, too.

You shouldnt need any additional fertilizer for a long time but depending on your tank size I would suggest a co2 maker. The cheaper co2 makers are just as good as the expensive ones, just depends on how much maintenance you want to do. I hope this is helpful.

I'd recommend at least 1:1. I always start with 2 parts thinner to 1 part. Just for a deep soak in seal. But I use d-limolene citrus base. Great, fast, safe.

Hi again. I responded on your later question, but I'll comment here as well. If you go to the comments under "Stacey" review, (I think it is the one now rated most helpful critical review) in the later comments there are some good exchanges Stacey and myself had with another person, "Ann" looking for advice on starting over after losing a fish. My review is the presently rated most helpful positive so you will get both views. Stacey has some very good advice on safely cycling with the fish in the tank in those later comments I mentioned, and I gave my method for safely sterilizing the tank without going nuts. The comments I'm referring to start about page 8 under the review. Good Luck. Hi again. I responded on your later question, but I'll comment here as well.

Buy the most economical container you can afford - at least 1 quart (I always buy a case of 4 gallons), then fill it to the indicator on the sight glass. How much you will actually need depends on how often you use it. You need to check the manufacturers recommendations in the manual as to how often you change it. Always change it after recovering an acid unit.

I found that after a few months of use, it is a good idea to clean out the container completely and start the prill water again. This is my own person preference.
