The tank is heavily planted and lots of rocks, a med. driftwood with sand blasting sand, 35 gal. Has been stable for 6 months when I put it up with 1 month seeded filter media and seeded decorative stones.
The Cardinal Tetras seem to be the problem as they are covered with Ich.
Harlequin Rasbora, a couple guppies, three Blackskirts, three Otos, 1 Pearl Gourami.
Was just getting ready to put them into my new 72 gal tank next week.
I just turned up the heater to 84F was 79F. I
Have snails Amano shrimp (so no copper/heavy metals) and Cories, 2 bronze or Green and 2 Emerald Brochis - know the Cories don't care for the salt. Used to use 1 tsp per gallon. When I got the Cories, I stopped using salt, 10 months ago.
Haven't had Ich for 12 years. I have to go to work this afternoon through late evening, so I won't get home til 11 or so.
If the water temp is up to 84F at midnight, should I raise it up to 88F then 12 hours later up to 89 or even 90F???
Any help would be appreciated. I read I can use Maricide. Can't tell for sure if it is safe for inverts.
