Bamboo Charcoal

OK, to set the record straight, the charcoal we're talking about here isn't any ordinary old type of charcoal. Instead, we're talking about a highly prized type of charcoal that's also known as "Black Diamond". Derived from buring bamboo at high temperatures, bamboo charcoal can be used in a variety of ways, from home care to personal care.

Widely used in Aquariums as an adsorbtive form of chemical filtration, the bamboo charcoal, with it's high porosity gives maximum adsorbtive propperties. Bamboo charcoal has been widely used by Takashi Amano as a superior filtration medium as well as ofen seen used by avid Red Crystal Shrimp (CRS) keepers to keep their aquarium water in tip-top condition. Below is a link to how Bamboo charcoal stick are used in a CRS aquarium. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh4zt1pxV_U

These are now available at SLS for a limited time!!

Here's a brief introduction to what the "Doctor Fish" is about. Hmm... I wonder if they eat algae in planted tanks too?

From Wikipedia:

This article is about the freshwater fish used for treatment of skin diseases, notably in Kangal district, Turkey

The term doctor fish is the name given to two species of fish (Garra rufa, discussed here, and Cyprinion macrostomus). They live and breed in outdoor pools of some Turkish spas, where they feed on the skin of patients with psoriasis. The fish are like combfishes in that they only consume the affected and dead areas of the skin, leaving the healthy skin to grow, with the outdoor location of the treatment bringing beneficial effects. The spas are not meant as a treatment option, only as a temporary cure for symptoms, and patients usually revisit the spas every few months. Some patients have experienced complete cure of psoriasis after repeated treatments, but due to the unpredictable nature of the disease, which is strongly influenced by endogenous factors, this may simply be regression towards the mean.

The nicknames nibble fish, kangal fish, and doctorfishen are commonly applied to both species of doctor fish. Outside the medical context, Garra rufa is called reddish log sucker.

The species occurs in the river basins of the Northern and Central Middle East, mainly in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. It is legally protected from commercial exploitation in Turkey due to concerns of overharvesting for export. Garra rufa can be kept in an aquarium at home; while not strictly a "beginner's fish", it is quite hardy. For treatment of skin diseases, aquarium specimens are not well suited as the skin-feeding behavior fully manifests only under conditions where the food supply is somewhat scarce and unpredictable.

In 2006, a Doctor Fish spa resort opened in Hakone, Japan and centar AlterMedica in Umag, Croatia. These fish are used to clean the feet of the bathers at the spa. There are also spas in resorts in China, such as Hainan (Cyprinion macrostomus, known locally as Chinchin), and South Korea.

26/7/2007 - The exotic trade of aquascaping

IT is quite common to hear about landscaping but the concept of aquascaping sounds exotic and unusual.  “It’s like landscaping but we do it in a tank with fishes and aquatic plants,” said Kevin Tan, 29. Tan and his partner Joseph Lim, 35, have set up Slippery Little Suckers (SLS), a company that offers aquascaping services.

“We set up and maintain tanks for offices or homes. Besides that, we also import and export exotic fish and aquatic plants,” said Tan, who was a practising architect before pursuing aquascaping full-time.
