I have been fighting finrot for the past year in my 180 gallon. Ive tried medicating the tank and the disease will go away for a bit and then come back. I've tried bleaching the tank but that did not work either. Ive tried separating the fish into a bare tank quarantine and treating with the same medication i treated the main tank with and that seems to work fine.
Should i get a UV sterilizer for the main tank, or should i take out all of the rocks, substrate, and media from the filters and start over? Will a UV sterilizer do anything for bacterial finrot? My guess is that this disease is going dormant or something in the sand and rocks when i treat the tank and comes back when the fish dig around in the substrate or something but im not sure. what should i do?
