Aquarium Advice Addict
... called my aquarium. Well... I recently had to do a 100% tear down to replace my 5 month old failing tank. It was completed and put back together in one night. I guess some of my plants got a little dry sitting out of the tank in in some bowls and such and now im seeing severe leaf die off. My amazon sword leaves are just deteroriating before my eyes, as well as my vals falling apart. The lower leaves that stayed submerged look fine, and im pretty sure they will bounce back. Has anybody else had experience with this type of situation before?
Also, while looking at my tank today, i noticed my clown loach has ich. Right before I did the change out of the old tank, my Mono argentis died of ich. He was being chased around by my sebae so I thought he was just stressed, thus why he got ich. Now that my loach has it, im going to continue trying to treat it.
Here is the situation/question. I have beat ich before using the heat/salt method, however I know it can have some reprocussions on my plants (use of salt). My plants are already hurting so im not exactly sure what route I should take now. I could try just heat, but I don't think i can get the water warm enough with my heater. Any suggestiongs? Any help on the plants?
Seems as though everything is falling apart in there after so much work establishing the tank.
