1 should be fine for a 100g. what were you're thoughts around why you wanted/needed 2?

Yeah, I have done 8 days of meds,

The loach that I lost, the ones that are left look clear .

I dose with the whole tank dosage prior to running the water back in. Straight into the tank and haven't had any issue so far. :thumb:

Hey folks, so I have had some new fish in my QT tank. 2 of these were CL's. I decided to treat with tetra ich guard, but alas the 2 CL's passed (which im pretty pissed about), the rest of the fish (couple of yo yo and some platty) seem to be fine and dont have any spotting. So I, removed the...

Thanks! yeah they look pretty good. I am going to email them to ask about their shipping procedures/costs as they only really mention details around air freight, hopefully it wouldn't be that much to get down to me, but as you mentioned they have a pretty good selection. Thanks for that rocky...

Im down near cherry hill so thats about an hour away. I might be able to try it at some point this summer. Thanks for the top though :thumb: I had tried the hidden reef but there was a lot of sick fish there.

Just wanted to vent, I have had my tank for a good 6 months now and I have tried out at least 8 different LFS that are somewhat drive'able for me and every time I have purchased fish I end up dealing with Ich or death. I used to have a tank over in the UK and I had a LFS that was 8 to 10 miles...

I usually take the same route but instead of bleach I use 70/30 water to H2O2 as the bleach word always makes me a bit jittery .. :P It works pretty well if you let stuff soak for a few hours.

another option for you, I have 2 hydor eth 300w inlines in the cabinet under the tank, so I never need to turn them off. :thumb:

yep ok thanks .. i am going to be soaking this in a large 10G tub, so I wasn't sure. dont know if I will get 5G of HP though. so it may be less than that. hopefully it will be enough to kill it.

Hey Peeps, so I have a bunch of brown beard algae on a large piece of drift wood that I have in the tank. I am going to do more regular wc's, but I want to treat the driftwood with HP. I have a large container that I was going to put the wood in, cover with water, add prime, then add HP, but...

Looking for the most complete mobile profile app for Iphone. I don't mind paying for it if its pretty comprehensive?? I have tried a couple and paid for them too, but they never seem to have the fish I see in the store and I want to be able to look species up at the store to check compatibility...

Thanks very much sir!! :thumb::thumb:

Hey everyone, just got these from some to look after, can anyone Id them please? Thx

ok so we are done, well we were clear about a week ago. Unfortunately I lost both clowns and both rams in the process. :( Pretty bummed about that tbh.. I think my main issue with treating this was that I had a tough time keeping a constant temp of 87. I only had 1 x 300W in the tank to...

This may be helpful. :thumb:

THanks for all your encouragement and advice guys! I have cranked the temp so its on its way up to 86 as we speak, it was 84 when I left the house this morning, so I am expecting it to be there when I get home tonight. I hear you on the QT statement, but I dont currently have a separate tank...

+1 to Mebbid's comments though I personally go for as much bio media as possible, just because, well why not. More bb the merrier in in my opinion. ;) I would suggest that you consider the flow of water through the filter and place the mechanical before the bio, just so that the bio media has...

ok and thanks, yeah i hear you on the hedging bets.. its never something you want to have to worry about, though I know its common among folks as you can see by the amount of times ich is posted. Thanks again for everyone's comments on this, I think I have a plan worked out. I will try 86 as...

But i guess, if you continue to feed, as you would, you still may have to due to nitrates correct? I understand that you probably shouldn't get into nitrate danger territory over the space of 10 days presuming that your readings were good prior to starting the treatment?

ok thanks Nick I will look into getting some stress guard if that will help the fish while i am treating this. I was also reading this which seemed a pretty good write up on badmans forum wrt ich and its was suggested to use salt also (even with CL). so I guess i will get some of that also. As...

right ok as I thought, and not just ich, but could help with other issues as I know that the fish could be susceptible to other infections when you get an outbreak of ich. I think im gona get one regardless. thanks for all your comments guys. I hope this clears soon and I dont loose any tank...

ok thanks, cant believe it got this in there ... :( took so long to cycle and get right.. im not going back to that lfs. Lastly, i just want to through this out there. Not wanting to start a brawl, but I was planning in the beginning to buy a UV for my tank, but I held off due to finances at...

FX6 rocks! used to be an old school Eheim guy, but after a LOT of research i ended up with the fx6 on my 90G. I went for over filtration in my case, but it should be good for 150. the specs rate it as follows: I think I read somewhere that these specs may be without media, but that being...
