Thanks. This is good advice. I'll quit with the Rid-Ick. Everyone is telling me that wipes out my bacteria. Salt and heat for me.

Ok, so I'll go for the full dose. Oh, I did the Ammo-lock test. Took a glass of tank water and tested for ammonia still 2-4 ppm. Then put Ammo-Lock in the glass and the test for that was 0 ppm. So, Ammo-Lock going in. I'll let ya know how tomorrow looks. I went ahead and put the extra salt...

I have the salt from API. Is 1/2 tbl per 5 gallons enough? The box says 1 tbl but I don't want to hurt the pleco.
