    3 AC300's on my 55 gallon, turning over 900 GPH. Turnover rate of 16 times. That has become my precedent. Any new tanks I setup will have a turnover rate of 15x or more.

    TetraMin is not high quality, first ingredient listed is fishmeal. IMHO, nothing beats Omega One.

    My molly has "shimmy"

    Mayree, you kinda contradicted yourself, your saying it is caused by poor water conditions, and then you say thats not the case for you, but then you say they like brackish water, which they clearly arent in. So it might just be, water conditions.

Buy Aquarium Products "Life Bearer", that will kill flukes and lice, Quick Cure from AP will work too but is very powrful (formaldahyde), Mardel's CopperSafe, very powerful as well. There are a few more out there but those 3 give you your best chances, Life...
