Are you using regular Melafix? You're getting ripped off.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
This is a good post, it made me think of something just now. I have 2 tanks running and I do waterchanges every week, so I buy the gallon size Amquel bottles since it saves money. Here my thought! Since you can use pond melafix for the aquarium, how about Pond Amquel+?!

The 1 gal amquel+ treats 7,680 gals - $27.19
The 1 gal Pond amquel+ treats 19,200 gals - $49.99
(prices from drfostersmith.com).

The regular amquel costs less, but then again pond amquel treats more then double the gallons. I should get the pond amquel huh? Plus, water conditioner cant be overdosed, so theres no problem with spewing a tiny drop or two

Also, since i'll be placing an order this weekend, is there any meds you guys recommend? Just in case there's a problem in the future, it would definately help if I already have the medicine on hand instead of buying a cheap brand from petco or waiting for an online order. Any recommendations to common diseases/parasites/ich or stuff like that?
 
Everything I use in my tanks is pond. From salt to mela/pimafix and Pond prime and pond stresscoat. That is all I use really.

All of the pond products are a better deal for us Monster keepers. I wish I had all that money back that I wasted on Melafix.
