    IAPLC 2012 people vote does this really needed?

    I thought i open up a topic for further discussion. I remember the time when we had a chat a few months back at ASW about people vote as a new thing at IAPLC.

    Foam on the surface

    Do not think this is about ammonia and Amazonia at all. There's something which cause the foam. However with frequent water changes and aeration at night solve the issue. Maybe the surface is not moving enough also.
