Plants for me are out of the question - my little (and big) darlings have indicated time and time again they consider them salad. So much so that when I put a new plant and courgette in the tank they will start with the plant In addition, of course, when some of them (weighing slightly less than a small whale ) crawl over them the plants get mashed!

Seachem is now out of the question as they stopped doing FreshTrace (or so I am told). I got the Red Sea one now, for the RO water - I will report what that does. I am hoping it will be as good - but have to say I just love Seachem products.

I will just try the minerals and vitamins for the zebbie tank and cut out the salt entirely - and see how it goes.

Would you just raise the temperature and leave them without medication?

I had white spot in my discus tank and first I thougt that it'll just go if I rise temperature to 32C. I was wrong. Disease got worse and I started medication with Waterlifes Protozin. That worked quite well and my fish become healthy.

After that my discus have spawned and had baby discus, so medication did't make them infertile.

This explains ich quite good:
