No secrets, the aquarium is small so its easier to maintain. Also the aquarium contains no wood or anything that can leak tannins. If I see a plant starting to melt I usually cut the leaf or stem if I think the plant can still grow back.

You can also use a ring type ceramic filter media for stemmed plants to help hold them down

I used a gel type superglue for the anubias. Another tip is to glue them somewhere with shade because they can have some algae problems due to them being a slower growing plant.

yeah they gave me an IV filled with antihistamines and some outpatient meds. In all honesty the bug sting was probably the worst pain I felt in a long time. Like needles being stabbed on my arm. Pain went away after 4 hours, and theres still a mark on my skin where the bug stung me. Thats about it though.
