Either use chemicals OR heat. Not both

Heat and salt will do it. It takes 14-21 days.

It is extra hard on fish to use chemicals and heat.

Add an airstone.

but ive maintained 30 degrees eversince the start of the tank it has never been changed it always been 30 celsius in the tank so maybe my fishes are used to it

 

[eddiegunks]

30c may be a bit high for some fish.

Just cause they are surviving does not mean you should do it long term.

add i have 4 air sones in there already should i add more

 

[eddiegunks]

Nope.

Keep the heat on 30c. It will work.

Good job with the airstones.

oh ok im not arguing the temp but i have 30 degrees on all my five tanks including my osacar,convict,green terror,tilapia and jaguar community

 

[Rubywee]

[Rubywee]

my main question is about the ocean free white spot special how long should i use it can i use it everyday for 3 weeks?it says in the dosage very confusing also because top portion says 1cap full for 8 gallons the lower portion says 2 capulls for 2 feet tank mine is 7 ft 327g how much am i suppose to add?

 

[eddiegunks]

Heat and salt. Nothing else.

14-21 days
