So far the garlic seems to be working (my entire bedroom stinks of it). The Ich hasn’t spread anymore, but hasn’t died off yet. Waiting to see what happens. 🤞 Polo Remember those BNP fry?

Schuyler Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Ick sucks! Do you have a UV sterilizer? Or maybe your LFS would let you borrow/rent one? In case the garlic doesn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting suggestion. I could try and ask around and see if I can find one. Should I just place it over the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I just place it over the tank? It's either something you hook up to a canister tube or it's a hang on back thing. It doesn't kill the parasites on the fish but it can kill some in the water column while they are looking for a new host. I've never done it but I heard a podcast saying that they rent them out at the store to help with green water.

TheSwissAquarist Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Sorry I’m not posting as much as usual, I’m working on a 22 page essay on the effects of climate change on water. 🥵 @Schuyler sadly I couldn’t source any UV light. Even my LFS hasn’t got one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything under the sun. 😂 Think of something that depends on, or uses water, and then think what happens if water disappears. We’re expecting a drought here, and I think my parents are currently viewing my aquariums as freshwater reserve tanks. On 3/8/2023 at 4:02 PM, Miska said: That's a huge essay! Especially at your age!

TheSwissAquarist Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Working on the terrarium…I’m thinking of a Marimo Moat around it? I would also just like to say a really big THANK YOU to @Chick-In-Of-TheSea for helping me deal with my Ich-epidemic. Garlic cloves may make me dream of French escargots , but torn in half they are the best think ever against Ich! I’ll find some material way to thank you @Chick-In-Of-TheSea… Before: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwissAquarist Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 Long time no post! I got some half decent plants which I think are Ludwigia and Linbergia (I’m rubbish with plant names) and some Dwarf hair grass. The aim is to get a mixed jungle going at the back, with a lawn up front. Hopefully it’ll work! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I’ve heard water features are really difficult to maintain It keeps the humidity levels high and I’ll do a sort of weekly water change with aged tank water. I got the idea when I read that you have to put marbles in a water dish to stop stick insects from drowning. Marbles=>Marimo moss balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
