Aquarium Advice Freak
ok today my tank got a good bit of work done
can i get advise on a few things?
1st
i have an outbreak of ich on my tang and royal gramma
i put all of my fish in a 58 qt clear plastic tub (new)
put a filter on it ,filled it up with tank water
added 1 capfull of ich away (malichite green)
how dark green does the water should be?
it is right now very light green
put them in BOY THAT WAS FUN (NOT !!!)
2nd
did a massive water change (50 %)
now here is what i did different
in returning new salt water to the tank i put hot water in
(mixed up the salt water in the tub with hot water)
and set my heater on 90 degrees
took all my rock out
(just base with a bit of bright green algae on them)
no live rock
i did this because i read that to kill off ich you gotta speed up its life cycle
by raising the temp
will i destroy my bacteria in the sand with the hot water change?
tomorrow i will again change some more water
i was thinking of boiling some distilled water to further raise the temp
(added slowly of course) :?
also i put all my inerts in there own container with a small filter
(20 g hob with a foam block)
