I am ready to open a pharmacy...

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....;-)

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.

Hi Roy, what kinds of things do I need to watch out for with MelaFix?
I bought a bottle of it on recomendation from some respected members of
this group and used it with pretty good luck. That's the first I've
heard of it causing problems.

I moslty dose it in a quarantine tank, though I did drop a dose in my
min planted tank to help my fish fend off a stint of Ich that I was
treating. I suspect that my regular water changes made it a non-issue.

Just curious!
