Why Garlic? It is an attractant and not a viable cure. Garlic should be used in conjunction with food treated with an IP med.

Changed gsp tank. 90% water change on my 30 gallon...getting it ready to move Wally in to in a few weeks. Bleached buckets and siphons in hopes that I don't transfer ich to other tanks.

found a 3rd fan shrimp in my tank! :blush: Didn't know I had it, so I got the poor little guy and the other 2 and re-homed them all in to my 30 gal DP tank :)

Started raising the temp and prepped some saltwater for my puffer tank to combat new ich. helped my fiance do a water change and scrub over his decor in his cichlid tank and vacuum substrate and clean filter entirely. Caught our 6-inch Leopard Pleco and stroked his belly :D Fed the cichlids some feeder guppies we got them as a snack... fun :) Transferred some more ramshorn snails out of my pond snail tank again (argh where do they keep coming from lol).

well happened yesterday...... I moved all my tanks to my new apt. Not very fun I might add. Trying to get Bloats wet/dry working was a PITA since the overflow got messed up. Had to use aqua sealer and a bottle cap to seal a hole that is used to suck start(with a one way valve that broke) the over flow. To say the least I was starting to freak out cause Bloat had been out of his tank and in a cooler for 3-4 hours(i know not that long) and I couldnt get the filter working. But the bottle cap and sealant filled the hole and got it working for now
