What area of the world are you located in? I know some areas do not have as many available meds. Are you familiar with any of the meds that are available in your area?
First, you should move the ill fish to a quarantine tank so that you can treat it separately. This […]

The polyester layer is going to have a lot of your bacteria. Did Lenny or Steve or Ray advise this step?
I think I would probably not do that until you are ready to replace the UGF with a power filter. But I haven’t had a UGF for 30 years, so Lenny, Steve or […]
I’m glad it’s a Sunday, somebody will hopefully have enough time to give me detailed answers. I’m breaking my 20 g down this week, to remove the polyster layer between the gravel and the UGF plate for good. Then I’ll set it up again in the same day.

1) The website isn’t accessible, except to vendors, but I found this snip on another site…. As posted on their website http://www.RoyalPetSupplies.com, “Royal Pet Supplies, founded over 55 years ago, is the pre-eminent pet product distributor in the eastern United States. Employing over […]
