Do you wash the bio media in tap water? Don't do that because it will kill off the nitrifying bacteria that processes the ammonia causing the ammonia levels to be high. High ammonia levels can result in ammonia burns like what your arowana has.

you need to add seachem prime to nullify the ammonia in the water and possibly some seachem stability or tetra safe start. You have ammonia in the water, so your tank is having a mini-cycle from what I can tell. keep up with water changes and salt as sticky said and add prime.
