Hi all i just noticed sum ich (90% sure) on my monoc pbass (approx 25cm), The tank is pretty newly setup it but it was an upgrade and i used A LOT of seeded media.

Tank has been running about 2 weeks and is 6x4 foot.

Stock =
2 TSN one at 2 foot another at 35cm.
1 temensis pbass 45cm
2 monoc pbass 25cm+ each
1 clown knife approx 55cm
1 AUL approx 55cm+
1 silver arrow about 2 foot

Filtration is fine a big 3x2 wet/dry sump with a ****e load of media aswell as a 2600 powerhead with sponge and a couple of small air sponge filters.

I figure my tank has crashed maybe a bit of overfeeding which was my fault, so i need to know how i can treat this ich and FAST! without damaging my existing BB or fish.

Temp is around 26 deg but i just upped it to hopefully around the 28 mark.

Please help, i dont wanto stain my silicon either!

Please think of the AUL
 
i kick up the temperature to 84-86F for 2 weeks. No salt, no nothing, no problems
 
Combine the heat and salt. Just add a tablespoon per 5g dosage to err on the side of caution and making sure ich is eliminated completely. Considering you have a lungfish, please dissolve the salt thoroughly and add it slowly to the tank to avoid salt from burning your lungfish's skin.

upped it to 25 tablespoons should i add more?

The bass are scratching quite alot.

At 1400 liters, that's about 70 tablespoons of salt to me.
 
Ok, some of my fish still have ich but it appears to be getting better (could be wrong, but i hope not!)

I think the arrow has quite alot of white spot from what i can see but he also appears to be losing his slime coat or something?

Looks like bits of skin or slime coat coming off.. he is very lethargic mostly sits on the bottom occationally swims around and sometimes darts around like he is trying to scratch or get something off his body..

Im starting to get sick of this real quick... i havent been feeding for about a week to try and get my nitrites under control they have come down alot but still not 0.

Please help!
 
Come on somebody my arrowana is dying!

Kind of bloody red scales and skin still falling off what the hell do i do?????
