Hi there!
I've had a tank of tropical fish for a long time, and have been adding the following to my water everytime I changed it:
1. Water conditioner
2. PH down (b/c I noticed that the pH was a little high)
3. Aquarium salt
Lately, I noticed that the filter-sponge turns PINK after 1-2 weeks of usage (it's originally white to start w/). Does this mean there's something wrong with my water treatment?
I have about 4-5 disc fishes, but I notice that their fins start to get really "chewed up looking" after I have them for a while...is this the fin 'rotting' ? I'm afraid the "pinkness " of the filter-sponge can be indicative of problem w/ the water that could cause this fin-problem in my fish..
Could anyone offer any advice?
I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!
