Aquarium Advice Addict
Okay, if those of you who don't know I've been fighting off internal parasites or SOMETHING like that for a while now and fish just still keep getting it so I got fed up tonight and me and my boyfriend just went all out
I may have gone a bit excentric but....did I have good reason to or did I really over do it?
- *took all the healthy fish out and put them in a bucket for a while
- *quarentined the sick ones in seperate containers
- *drained all the water out
- *took a the gravel (more like those marble stone things) out and WASHED them a few at a time with REALLY hot water
- *BLASTED the tank with REALLY hot water with our stretchable shower head and then whiped it down to get all the slimy junk off(probably algae)
- *Took apart the filter and the media
- *tossed the filter media out and scrubbed EVERY PART I could of the filter and carbon spongy pad thingy
- *Rinsed and scrubbed all the plants and rocks with really hot water
- *Didn't put the filter back on. I'm waiting to let it dry overnight to make sure nothing's still there if it has to live in freaking water and then I have to go to Petsmart tomorrow and buy new filter media
- *Put everything back in, including the sick fish but kept them in the seperate containers only floating on the top so they can still get heat but are still separated from all the seemingly healthy fish
