Wow 15 posts on aquarium disposal. Now I'm bored. You have brought nerdom to a new height.

No need to parrot. Don't get fiesty. I just pointed out the inconsistency in your "research" (Dr. F. Arts Allot). Apparently you didn't read my post. Shazam :D

The frozen water in bottles works. Also do an extra water change during the week with purposely colder water.

Yes there are different phases. That is why you slowly raise the tank temp. to 86* and leave it there for 2-3 wks. Nobody said anything about lowering the temp. 90* is at the upper end of what your typical heaters will do. :cool:

So if it stops reproducing at 86* and doesn't infect new fish as 85*. Why go to 90* ? There is no need to. I had always thought that 90* was supreme but my research is telling me 86*. So you are right in that you need to research more articles. :eek:

90* is a little excessive. 86* is more tolerable for most fish. I say 2-3 weeks because you will have parasites in different stages of their life cycle. So yeah....86* raise 2*/hr. for 14-21 days maybe lower water level so hob will splash and have better gas exchange. Water changes;)

Getting back to your post.....water changes yes but vacuum the substrate each time.

I don't know....do plants use ammonia or just the nitrates?

slowly raise the tank temp. to 87* maintain for 2-3 wks. Add extra aeration (bubble stones, surface agitation, do water changes) I have read that salt doesn't do much.

I have never seen those for sale. $15 is alot of money. I had sand substrate and the sand kept getting in the impeller. I finally bought a canister with the pump on top.:o
