First, my thermometer broke in my tank three days ago. Two days ago I used another tanks thermometer to check the temp and found out the heater broke as well. Yesterday I noticed ich in my tank. So I used a space heater to slowly raise the temp and added 3 teaspoons of salt in the ten gallon so far. Last night while I was sleeping I don't know what happen, but the surge protector strip was set off and the filter was off this morning. I go to turn every thing back on and the filter is now broke and dead. Then upon further inspection I noticed a white thread looking substance, looks like a fungus, growing on the filter intake. The only thing that works is the light and I added a very old air pump for water aggitation. So, today I have to buy a thermometer, heater, filter, and probably going to siffon out alot of water add it back in and use coppersafe. Gotta love meltdowns! Anyone else know a better way to cure my disease problem?
