Good Afternoon everyone,
Started off with a FOWLR setup
72 gallon bowfront
ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate between 10 and 20
temp 82-84
Everything was going great and i noticed that my porcupine puffer and Blue Jaw Trigger had some white spots. All other fish are fine.
So i went out and purchased a 29 gallon hospital tank. I am was going to give Hyposalinity a shot since everyone said it will not stress fish and and will be better for the puffer. Since this hospital tank is not established what precautions should i be taking besides daily water changes and constant monitoring of water conditions. I am just worried about ammonia build up. I was under the assumption that hypo is going to kill off all bacteria that would convert ammonia anyway. Please let me know if i am on the right track here or if anyone else has any other suggestions.
Thanks For your help in advance.
