I just set this tank up, I moved the filter pad from the old HOB filter that was on the 10G tank, I also used the BioBalls that had been in the sump of my 55 gallon for 2 weeks, and lastly used the sponge filter that had been sitting in the bottom of the sump for months. So I set the tank up and it had .50 ppm of ammonia, so i faithfully every day at 12:00 noon add 1 cap full of prime. This tank has been setup for 3 days now at the same time I set the tank up I add a new fish. Well this fish died in front of me today and had a white cotton on his body; after removing him is saw the following.
Strange cotton like stuff growing on the back of my biocube on the black plastic. One patch looks like cotton the rest is a clear circle patch with small white stringy things growing out of the center of the clear circle. So now I am scared, that my other fish might get sick and I don't know what to do. If they are infected I don't want to take them out of this tank and put them on my 55 gallon. However if they are not infected and the tank is infected I want to move them. I am also terrified of treating the tank with medicine as I lost a whole tank doing this when the meds killed my BB. This tank is in a mini cycle as its using 100% pre cycled media, but the water had a little bit of ammonia in it, but like I said I have never missed a dose of prime. on cap treats 50 gallons and I use 1 cap on 29 gallons with only .50 ammonia.
Also I my girlfriend used my net for the 55 gallon in this tank the other day, I noticed and explained how bad that is. I don't think this net has been used in the 55 since then, what can I dip this net in to make sure I am safe
