Just make sure the carbon is out of your filter, Nu Nu & it is okay to use a bit more if you have a heavy infestation.....perfectly safe....ad I did not use any salt, just this med and temp up
I never stopped running my filter and left everything intact - just removed the carbon insert......leave your filter running/your bacteria in it will be fine with the medicine...
Toss the carbon cartridge/pad and start with a new one after you get rid of the ich in a few weeks. The good bacteria on your sponge insert stays in the filter and keeps running during treatment.
I would suggest a temp of at least 80 - since you had it up so high before try not to decrease it too fast.....80-82 is fine in association with the medicine.....
Float bags of ice cubes in your tank. Do not put ice directly in tank. Put in bags that will not put ice water in your tank. It's recommended that you lower your temp. 4' each day. So by the end of the day have the tank at 80 and that should be fine.
I feed my eel bloodworms rwice a week and flakes twice a week! He doesnt eat the flakes, but he LOVES the bloodworms! Is this enough food for him, and should i be using a differant type of meat for him? Thanks!
I've been doing some research cause I'm getting mine soon. Supposedly your not suppose to feed them flakes it does nothing for them. They like worms bloodworms and brine shrimp. They a carnivorous.
