I know, sorry to even mention there to you. I thought you might want to know why he probably won’t answer

I think he is mostly on fishlore these days. Good luck!

If you have ich then using something with malachite green quickly is very important. Lots of water changes using your conditioner and beating ich with the right treatment is where I would start

In my experience with hornwort it reacts to change by dropping needles. For me, any change. It should recover

That’s probably the reason. Mine used to be like that when it was new. Purigen or carbon will take the smell out

Try some purigen. How long has it been cycled?

I would sterilize any equipment that went into the tank like syphon, bets etc I would dose three times for sure. First dose, let set, water change. Second dose in two weeks,repeat, so on and so forth. Some say 2ppm dose, some say up to 12ppm. I prefer more then less

Weigh down a big piece of lettuce just before lights off. Check in a few hours. If the lettuce is covered with snails then pull and pitch. I wouldn’t leave the vege in the water more then a day or so

It is generally 2 ppm. Some advise up to 13 ppm. I don’t have an opinion on which is right. Absolutely correct about worms you see spraying eggs. Levimisole does not kill eggs so you will have to vacuum them up or kill them when they hatch Most I have read recommend 2-3 rounds of treatment...

Your fry should be fine. Make sure and follow precisely the directions for gravel vacs and follow up dosing. Also keep an eye out for bacterial infections from worms stuck inside dead. If you caught it early and follow directions you should be ok

I use Alita pumps. As long as you bleed them they are good to go

Melafix is not something I would recommend. To me it is close to snake oil. Good clean water with good food will go a long way. How much sun light you guys get this time of year?

I bought mine from foster and smith. Not sure of the concentration Lonely for a week to heal is a better price to pay then the alternative

Lots of water changes! I might even use a little methyl blue

For me the picture is a little blurry. It appears to be an injury. Do you have a smaller tank to use as a hospital tank? Lots of clean water will be needed to heal. Your 170 gallon will be hard to do that with

Have you tried zucchini?
