Hallo In the next couple of months i'll be starting a fish room from scratch. I will be keeping mostly fancy plecos and other south american fish and were i live we have liquid rock out of the tap. I'm thinking about getting a small watersoftner only for the fish room, but the amount of sodium content in water scares me. My gh is around 20 out of the tap and i would like to end up between 4-6 gh. I have a reserve osmosis system right now, but the though of having a huge barrel to mix the water into, isn't very practical when i wanna make an automatic drain and fill system for the tanks. Is there other easier ways to soften the water or is the sodium content in the water not a problem? I would be gratefull for any suggestion or advice. Regards Kristoffer

I do have praziquantel in my med stock. I start the treatment right away and add another air source, there is a spongefilter running too. Thank you for the answer, ill reply back to let you know how its going.

Hey I recently bought 8 L183 Ancistrus. 4 of them are sitting at the surface gulping air once in a while. They dont have any heavy breathing and the rest of them are doing fine and eating good. The aquarium has been running for some time and is completly cycled. Unfortunately one of the smaller ones have died. I have suspected it to be some kinda Internal parasite because of white stringy poop and have treathing with esha hexamita and flubendazole. Metronidazole is almost impossible to get here unfortunately. It seems to have helped alittle, atleast some of them have left the surface and are now hiding. I would be grateful for any thoughs or help.
