I am ready to open a pharmacy...
Hi,
I've only have my tank for a couple months now, and so far I got: PimaFix Melafix Stress Coat Super Ick cure Plant Gro fertilizer Ph Down conditioner (don't use anymore) Dried Bloodworms Brine shrimp pellets Flakes (food) Flakes with dried worms Algae tabs Got a 3Gal tank for hospital/quarantine with filter and heater Got also a small breeder tank that can also be used to isolate fish. Oh yeah alot of fake plants. :) What should I do with them? I also plan on getting aquarium salt at the lfs today. So am I missing something else on the *must have* list? :rolleyes: |

Well other than the PimaFix and Melafix, most of the other stuff is perfectly fine to have around. If your intent on the mela and pima snake oils, may I suggest you stock up on activated carbon as its gonna take a heap of it to rid your water of the crap and junk it makes in it......I do not see anay dechlorinating stuff listed......water exhanges are perhaps the most important ingredient you omitted, especially when dealing with a sick fish.. Why do you need plant fertilizer if you got a heap of "fake" plants is what I would like to know....;-) On 20 Apr 2005 09:26:33 -0700, " wrote: ===Hi, === ===I've only have my tank for a couple months now, and so far I got: === ===PimaFix ===Melafix ===Stress Coat ===Super Ick cure ===Plant Gro fertilizer ===Ph Down conditioner (don't use anymore) ===Dried Bloodworms ===Brine shrimp pellets ===Flakes (food) ===Flakes with dried worms ===Algae tabs === ===Got a 3Gal tank for hospital/quarantine with filter and heater ===Got also a small breeder tank that can also be used to isolate fish. ===Oh yeah alot of fake plants. :) ===What should I do with them? === ===I also plan on getting aquarium salt at the lfs today. === ===So am I missing something else on the *must have* list? :rolleyes: ============================================== Put some color in your cheeks...garden naked! |

I have bought a 32 inch tank to replace the 18 inch one in my daughter's room (on eBay, natch) and am considering taking the little one into school (I work in a primary school) to quarantine new fish there. Good for the kids, doesn't get set up as a semi-permanent fixture inviting its own fish in the house... -- sophie www.freewebs.com/fishstuff (under construction. ish.) |
Why do you need plant fertilizer if you got a heap of "fake" plants
is what I would like to know....;-) Thats because I started with fake plants and have replaced them with live ones gradually. :) Water exchanges is a given I do that now once a week. I also keep testing the water and do regular cleaning. No need for dechlorinator because I get water from a well. :) |

Oh yeah alot of fake plants. :) What should I do with them? Use them in quarantine. They can be disinfected much better than live plants and still give fish some cover and a sense of security.

Much shorter than mine. ;-) -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com Agreed...I now have two Ich treatments on the list plus a wide variety of food as the food I give is dependant on what fish are in which tank (one day hubbie will question what is in the bottom drawer of the freezer, or actually more likely my mother if I ever let her get close enough - lol)....plus a variety of "cycling" products - dependant on where I bought the tanks and what was bundled at the time...same goes for water conditioners and plant foods...also have a very big bag of fake plants - I prefer live for their water conditioning qualities...if I have to throw them after I live with it.... |

Plus I'm sure you have multiple test kits. :) |
