I will try to explain my situation as best as possible
I noticed last night one of my dalmation mollies has Popeye...eeek... this is the first time i have ever seen this!... this morning i went to the local pets store to have them test my water... nitrates where high... i have read probably 100 posts and articles on popeye and how to treat it etc etc...i did almost a 75% water change and bought melafix for the popeye and seachems Prime for the high nitrate.. i treated the tank and went to work and just came home and tested the water with a quick test strip made by mardel it is telling me my nitrates are at 40mg/L (?)... should i double the dosage on the prime and continue doing water changes everyday?...and should i leave my filter run?... these are probably stupid questions but i plan on eventually upgrading my tank and i need to learn about these situations so i know how to take care of them in the future...
thanks for your time!
