I've had my saltwater for 2 months now. I added, among others, the Humu Trigger three weeks ago. On its top fins there seems to be a formation of cotton-like rotting (very minute). He appears to be fine, swimming great, eating and all.
My water parameters seem to be OK. My gravity is at 1.024, Ammonia at 0, Nitrite at 0, Nitrate at 10, pH unknown (I haven't checked lately but the last time I checked a month ago it was 8.2). I performed a 5-gallon water change every three weeks. Temp is at 78 but I recently raised it to 82 (over the course of 3 days) in hopes of irritating the micro organism responsible for the fin rot. The temp raise always worked in my african cichlid tank (and ofcourse they are very different animals).
Question: How do you get rid of the fin rot without adding any expensive medicine?
