How long do I treat for ich? I noticed the spots in my guppies last Monday and started treatment with Nox-ich doing half doses daily as I have shrimp. I have done two saltwater baths once every 48hrs on the effected fish and two 50% water changes. I still see some white spots in my guppies...

This is my first time dealing with ich. I am new at the aquarium game, my tank is a 10 gal with one dear gaurami two guppies and three crs with 5 more in the mail. I wave two plants some moss and Marimo ball. My heater doesn't allow me to adjust temps it is preset for 78. Tonight I removed the...

Well after 26 days I can confidently say she has fully cycled. ph 7.2 ammonia 0 nitrites 0 and nitrates >5.0ppm. Which is good as my crs are on their way.

Noob here always wanted a tropical tank so I got one for my son on his birthday. Like so many I trusted the big box stores and started my tank. Long story short I killed fish, purchased some feeders to do a fish in cycle. I check the water a few times a day and have been monitoring my cycle...
