Substrate fertiliser

Added fertiliser to the substrate today, Tetra Initial Sticks. It’s actually meant to be mixed into the substrate/gravel when setting up an aquarium, but I’m too cheap to buy the larger tablets and this looked like a better bargain, though I had to use a pincer to place each stick in the gravel one by one. Wasn’t difficult and the experience was sweetened by thinking of the money I saved 
I could save even more by making my own clay-based fertiliser tablets, but I’m trying to stay away from using plain clay as it would be annoying to wash out of the substrate the day I decide to redo this tank, and I hope this works a little better.

Old 90 litre

Discovered disease (“ick”/”white spots”) last sunday, 23 Nov. A few spots on the black tetras, amny on the ‘old’ diamond tetra, but none on teh ‘new’ diamonds and the flag cichlids. Medicated with Faunamor and right now it looks like the scafre is over.
Irritating, as I can’t stress the fish too much right now by moving them and the decoration to the new 128 litre.
