    Did you mean KH?
  2. Mmiller2001
    I'll check that, I didn't even pay attention to the color.

    I had mine under the sink for a time. But after a while, convenience won out. I plummed it in the garage and hung it on the wall to save space.

    Seachem Equilibrium is the more cost effective mineralizer. Saltyshrimp is kinda pricey.

    Okay, thank you Cory.

    So no second dose, even at the recommended amount?

    I must have a resistant parasite going on. TL|DR Fish went through QT with Trio, did a full round of ParaCleanse per directions on box and did a 5 day treatment of Ich-X. Something snuck through and Cory's started flashing again and now other fish have begun flashing. No visible signs of Ich or spots. I dosed PraziPro on the 19th. No real improvement to date. The 24th will be day 5, I plan to do my water change and dose PraziPro again. How hard of a dose can I go? I used 5ml per 20, in a 75Gallon. My total dose was 17.5ml to account for wood and sand. Thank you for any advice! Edit: I added Poly-fil to my canister, could this be causing a problem? This is the pure 100% Polyester bag, no flame retardant.

    What fish are you trying to keep warmer?

    Thank you. Does Paracleanse even work on Camallanus?
  11. Mmiller2001
    You might try this. They market it as "I don't know what disease is happening". Worth a shot if you can get it in time. https://www.seachem.com/sulfaplex.php

    How do you determine camallanus? What are you looking for? Should I worry about this?
  13. Mmiller2001
    Copy that. Thank you Cory.

    At one point my KH dropped to 1 unexpectedly, and that dropped my pH to 6.8, which scared me. So now I keep my KH at 4 which holds that 7.4 7.3 well.

    Thank you both. My initial guess was flukes. I just ordered prazi but in the meantime I could dose Paracleanse. Should I wait for the Prazi or try the Paracleanse again now? I do have plants.

    Quick breakdown. These guys just came out of QT, bit longer than 3 weeks. Week 1: Med trio Week 2: Gills red and flashing, dosed Paracleanse per box direction. Week 3: Ich X for 5 days straight. Plus a few days, saw no flashing and added to main display. Do Cory's just do this or I did I not get all of what was happening back in QT? It will be impossible to remove them without stressing the whole tank (75G, 7.4pH, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, 5 GH, 4KH) Thanks for looking.

    Good article just because. https://fishlab.com/planaria/ They don't look like Planaria, but you can see what the harmless flatworms look like.
  18. Mmiller2001
    Thank you, I don't see that written anywhere.

    In addition to mulm, I use pond snails.

    Just wanted to double-check I grabbed the correct package? Thank you.

    PH

    Mmiller2001 replied to RandyH's topic in General Discussion

    Kinda depends because your buffering will determine the pH. Basically, you may have a pH change when the water was added and then have it buffered to another pH some time later.

    Check this one out. I have the next model below this and absolutely love it. But I also love my 3.0. https://current-usa.com/serene-sun-le-pro-led-light/ The 3.0 can't mimic sunrise and sunset quite like this one can.

    Looks like spider wood.

    I feel your pain. But honestly, just wait until you can afford it. Bottom line, every fish is sick until proven otherwise. I started the med trio a month ago, and now have a 97% survival rate. Before was a disaster.

    I use a 20 gallon medium planted tank with 1/4" inert sand substrate. It is fully cycled and has pond snails to keep the cycle going. The plants control any spikes that might occur. Most of the diseases we face have a life cycle. Why break it down and sterilize it when I can just run the tank fish-less to break the cycle? Out side of Hemorrhagic septicemia, I feel there's no reason to "bleach" it.
