Hey Todd,

     This is interesting ---- what types of South American fish do best in
the Wasserboxer cooling system? Do they prefer ethylene or propolene based
coolant (phosphate-free is a given, of course) or should I stick to the
Autobahn blue??? Can you see them at the expansion tank..........  : )

Happy Friday to all,

Cheers,

I was very heavy into aquariums a few years back and one of the things that
they recommend was to add tannin in the water for several types of S.
American fish. From what I remember this makes the water somewhat "Acidic."

I believe that you should not have an acidic environment in your westy
engine
because it will increase the rate of corrosion.
