Joe here again:
My aquariums are of the same mold. My wife has bought quite a few 10
gallons for me at garage sales for $3 and less.
I also have a comment about the soil you are using. It is 100% organic, and
that can be why the fungus is hitting so hard. I have Nepenthes is some
baggies in LF sphagnum in windows, and they have not had any fungus. Maybe
you need a more open mix where coconut fiber is concerned. You might try
mixing some perlite in with it and maybe a little charcoal.
