There are led converted fixtures for the garage and fluorescent over the tanks with the magnetic ballasts but not switched on.

The meter shows 0.0 and 0.1 in other tanks on the same rack. The top rack tanks are averaging 1.8 middle rack tanks are averaging .4 bottom rack tanks are averaging .2 And the voltage is believed to be of no concern for the fish?

Ok sounds good. I will order up some grounding probes. There is nothing electronic in these tanks currently and still showing a little over a volt in the water. super annoying.

Ok. I will replace the one for sure bad heater. And start plugging the others one by one. I left them unplugged over night (garage is sitting around 73 degree area) I will get them all set back up and see if any others are leaking voltage. checked with red probe in water back to outlet ground. I will start getting ground probes installed and hopefully all will be well.

Need some help. I have some stray voltage in tanks that I just discovered. Tanks with electronics removed are still reading around 1.5v or less. Is this a problem? Had one heater that was putting 55v in the water when it was heating. But all the other tanks except the tanks not connected to auto water change system has around a volt in it. How much is too much? Is ground probes acceptable to use in every tank and will keep fish safe? haven’t ever ran into this before. 26 tanks. 10 have no stray voltage or .1 v with heaters in the tanks. 16 had 4+ volts in them with nothing plugged in. All tanks have a irrigation valve controlled water supply for auto water changes

Done with the treatment on the one tank. Others are still doing good. We will see after 3 more weeks.

The black flame endlers had a body show up yesterday. Starting the Marycyn 2 today. Starting with the one tank. am I correct in thinking that no water changes for a full week?

There should be 17 or so left. They hide out under the wood and rock work. Basically have one shot to chase after one and then have to try again tomorrow. They out run you around this tank.

Been running the co2 reactor for a week and a half straight now. Running brs carbon Rox. Supposedly last longer. It’s slowly clearing up. Ordered the second biomaster Thermo 600 for the big tank. Also picked up a UNS 90P to upgrade our spotted Congo planted tank from the rimmed 40 breeder they are in. Need to build a mid century modern stand for it to match the direction the basement room is going. Squish, the star of the tank, has been killing off the Cory cats. Surprisingly the kribensis and him don’t mind each other. The long fin danios have been getting some tails nibbled here and there but all are active and healthy. Fahaka puffers can be mean!

Ok so today marks the end of the second round of kanaplex. Is there anything I should follow up with? Been a few days since I have seen a body. Wait a week before selling out of these tanks?

We have 20 or so emerald Cories in there. There has been one mishap between squish and a cory. We will see if it is a continuous problem before we add more of those. The rest seems to get along great so far though. I am running a carbon reactor on the tank 24/7 for another week and then will switch to having it turn on with the nearby co2 regulator to try and balance the nutrients without stripping everything for the plants.

Not much has changed. 1-2 fish between the 3 tanks pass every couple days. It may have slowed down some. Maybe. Today was the start of the “second” round of kanaplex regimen. I am really at a loss on what this could be. I thought the purple cobras were good to go but one body today.

The fish I posted with the sores is still alive. Looking rougher acting betterphotos are not upside down in my phone. Unsure of why it is on here.

I will start tonight. I will keep posted. Water changes as normal and add salt daily?

Also I am not sold on it being tetrahymena. I was unable to see visible signs of sickness other than clamped fins before . I know on the metal laces i definitely saw patches like this guppy presents but the red was not there. This is the 4th or 5th day of ich-x. Columnaris seems like a possibility with what has been seen today. Are there any ways to try and distinguish between the 2?

What are the odds of it being one fish with it? These tanks have 30-60 fish in them? Is there a more recommended solution for all of them? Run the kanaplex with the ich-x? As label directed for the kanaplex?

@ColuOk no bodies today. I do have a very sick fish in the yellow tiger endlers. This is the first that I have seen so blatant and apparent. What do we have? What do I need to be treating? same fish. Obvious patches of something on the head and very obvious bleeding either internal or external on the side. hopefully this will get us on the right track for saving these colonies.

So the big tank is looking good but tannins are gonna be the death of me. Viewing 6 feet to the back of the tank any amount of tannins make it difficult. I am going to grab a carbon reactor for this tank. I have read enough to know I don’t want to run carbon 24/7 but is there a “safe” range to cycle it on and off without stripping everything out of the tank?

Is there a way to post video? It more so it’s behavior with the arched back that causes me to believe that one is on the decline.

Ok 1 body when I got home today. Was in my black flame endler tank. The provided picture does not show clamped fins but is showing the drooping back and minimal tail movement that was present with other observations of ones that have died. Still no fish showing these signs in the other 2 tanks… terrbike pictures but this one looks a still just active enough to be a pain to photograph

Midwest liquid rock. In person it looks kind of in between 8.4 and 8.8 These tanks get a ~5% change every 6 hours. I will continue treating for what you recommend. Sterilizers would be nice but each tank is kept separate from eachother and don’t want to add the expense of multiple individual sterilizers. as of now between treating and removing substrate and mulm I haven’t seen any bodies or others acting funny. I will keep this post updated for the next few days unless it turns for the worse again.

Tetramin tropical flakes 90%, coop fry food 5%, then random hikari, sera, extreme foods.

I have sat in front of these 3 tanks for 30 minutes looking at the fish. Each tank is down in numbers from where i started, purple cobras had 2 bodies yesterday but today all tanks look great. Not one looking ill. I will keeping looking and see if one starts showing signs. For what it is worth yesterday I noticed one of the bodies I threw away the day before had a split open belly? I haven’t seen that before so that strikes me strange.

I will post a picture tomorrow morning I am out for the night currently. It is only a few fish at a time but all three of these tanks had 100+ fish a couple months ago, I sold 30 fish out of one when I first put them in these tanks and now have less than 50. Thank you for any help and I will tag you when impost the picture.
