Hi Folks,
Still struggling with my adult Oscar. Lethargic and laying on her side most of the time. She does eat daily but in general, basically NO activity.
I’m wondering if oxygenation may be an issue.
Here’s my setup:
90gal tank
Just added an FX6 filter
Emperor 400 HOB
Two large sponge filters
When I added the FX6 on sunday, I removed a second HOB (Penguin 350). But the next two days Oscar was ESPECIALLY lethargic so I put the 350 back in this morning, to add more vertical water exchange and surface turbulence.
My fear is that the FX6 doesn’t disturb the surface enough.
Thoughts on my filtration? Ideas? Is this enough? Should I keep both HOBs or is that overkill? Frankly I’d rather remove one but I’m getting worried. They also don’t make a spray bar for this filter but I see they can be DIY...
Thanks.
