I have a 45 gal that I have slowly introduced fish into over the past few months. I now have 3 platies, 7 neons, 3 veil-tail tetras, 2 dwarf gouramis and a bala shark. Of course every time I have added a fish I get ick in my tank so I have the temp at 82 and added Coppersafe. I did a 5 gal change and rinsed the filters a week or so ago but I wonder when I should do a 20% change and put carbon back in my filters to remove the Coppersafe? Is it better to leave the Coppersafe for a while even without the carbon filters or should I try to get some new water and a good filter system back into place? All fish are well for now and I don't plan to add more, at least until I can find a Kuhli loach! What about the temp? Can I leave it at 80 or 82 or is that too warm? THANKS!
