Possible Backlash of Using Nitrofurazone/Binox

[tank125]

Tig update. Nitrites and Ammonia are both still zero in QT tank, no water change necessary, going to re-dose.

Oxygen depletion in irradiated aqueous solutions containing electron affinic hypoxic cell radiosensitizers.

Michaels HB.
The oxygen concentration in stirred aqueous solutions contained in sealed glass vessels was continuously monitored during irradiation with a sensitive Clark-type oxygen probe. The yield of radiolytic oxygen depletion, g(-O2), in alpha medium was determined to be about 0.44 microM/Gy (equivalent to 3.6 ppm/rad) over a range of oxygen from about 1,000 to 209,000 ppm. Over this same range of oxygen concentration, it was observed that oxygen is depleted in the presence of misonidazole, and that g(-O2) is slightly reduced at low oxygen and at high misonidazole concentrations. Oxygen depletion was observed in solutions of other nitroaromatic sensitizers of widely varying electron affinities: metronidazole, paranitroacetophenone, nitrofurazone, and nifurpipone. Significant protection of oxygen from radiolytic depletion was observed in concentrated solutions of nifurpipone, the most electron affinic drug studied (E17 = -214 mV). No such effect was observed for the least electron affinic compound, metronidazole (E17 = -486 mV).

Metro also, ehh

Very interesting. That's why I have so many powerheads running (with venturi attachments).

Very informative thread, hope you tig will recover.

This is why the regimen for dosing includes daily w/c's, to dilute possible ammonia/nitrite from bio-filter killing and to replenish oxygen. Metro is available in the water for less than a day.




Tig is much better today (12hrs after 2nd dose), color is back, redness has subsided, fins are erect. I will carry out the rest of the treatment and report back if anything changes and/or when this is done in 3 days.

Thanks to MFK my old thread is still here to help remind me about what I did to treat him last time this happened!

sweet ass. save that tig.. next time maybe i wont kill mine like a dumbass!!

 

[skynoch]

Good to hear

 

[Nic]

good stuff....

 

[tank125]

Tigrinus is fine, back to normal. Waiting to be moved into the new pond rather than back to the 210, maybe 4 days...

Maracyn II worked for: red fins, red gills, heavy breathing, loss of color, clamped fins... Likely Septicemia

Just out of curiousity.....

How do the stingers look on your rays now that the Nitrofurizone treatment has been completed?

Normal.
