My interest is not so much in Myco but in Ron's water changing reigime. How does he handle evaporation? Does he top up? Or does his plants have some involvement in the chemical fixing of salts?

I have a feeling that Ron's fish are not as stressed as other fishkeepers fish are. Hence myco might not exibit the obvious symptoms. Without performing the actual tests, you can never know if myco is present or not. Chances are if Ron has sourced anything from the commercial sector (plants, fish, snails etc) then he will have some myco. However I think you have proved the adage that a happy fish is a healthy fish :-)
