I have a few different tanks, from a 5.5g nano sw fowlr, 45g sw fowlr, 5g java moss, feeder snails & shrimp, 65g African Cichlids and a 10g freshwater nano community. All contain inverts and/or scaleless cats, cories or botia. So treatments for illness have been scary for one reason or another...

Just registered in earnest, been lurking (researching) for over a year. Of all the online info, I've found this group to be the most consistently reliable, go-to source for any of the Q's I've had rattling in my brain. My tanks are small, over filtered at least 2-3x's more than recommended...
