how to treat ick?

[jpcampbell123]

i think my p bass has ick from the feeders i was using been trying to break them to f/t only but they are still small and prefer live feeders. they will eat f/t bloodworms but i still offer them live for the calcium content
i have been doing water changes every week also the tank has been up and running for a week its a 75 gallon i got the feeders from a lfs.
i also adjusted the temp and now i am worried about the heater idk if i have it filled up enough for the heaters their ebo jager.
temps reading 83-84 on the temp gun. i noticed tonight theres a waterline mark on the heater its a 200 watt heater 2 of them i set them both to 88.

88 is good and and aqua salt/ solar salt to the mix and you'll be good.

Nope. Just add more O2 in the tank. More bubbles and water circulation.

make sure to keep the tank really aerated at higher temps.

also you say the tank has even up and running for a week? as in running after it was cycled? or did you seed the filter with bio really well?
