What to do? - Aquarium Advice

Jman17H · 01-21-2007, 09:30 PM

While treating my planted 150 for ick using the heat method do I continue to keep everything in terms of my CO2 injection, lighting & dosing the same?

Since oxygen is not as plentiful in high heat water, should I be running a limewood airstone, at least during the night?

Advice from those who have gone thru this with a planted tank would be very helpful.

Thanks

I guess now as much as I hate the idea, I need to start practicing the preached idea of a quarantine tank..........

Witht the heat on high...the plants will suffer some, but most should make it. An airstone is a good idea at Ich killing temeperatures (86F plus).
