Thank you, I will dissolve them for future treatments.

Here he is today.  Doesn't look any different.  He won't eat.  I was able to get some Tetra Fungus Guard locally.

He won't eat anything.  I added a few snails just to see if he would go after them and he won't move.

Looks like he's getting worse instead of better. All the catfish in the tank have died.

Here's how he looks today.  I have polyguard and kanaplex.  I couldn't find Focus anywhere locally today.

I came home to a few dead synodontis lucipinnis today and saw this on my spotted congo puffer.  I've added salt as recommended by the stage 2 treatment in the Aquarium Co Op blog.  Any idea what this is and how I should treat it beyond the salt?

[Convert Eshopps Wet Dry into a Sump]

Has anyone here converted a wet dry filter into a sump?  I have a 180 Gallon African Cichlid tank that has an Eshopps WS-300 Wet Dry under it.  It has the sponge and bio balls.  It seems now that it is older.  I am having nitrate issues.  I can see detritus on the bio balls but it's hard to clean out due to the sump not being able to be removed from under the tank.  I was thinking of removing the bio balls and adding filter socks.  Maybe a refugium in the middle chamber but I'd have to modify the acrylic and cut out some holes to turn it into an actual sump.  If someone has already accomplished this, I'd love to know how you did it.  Here is a link to the sump.  Eshopps Sump
