after treatment those pads will be garbage. also, i hope you pulled the bio filter before you put any chems in, the chems kill all your beneficial bacteria.
really, you need to get to the bottom of WHY your fish is ill. 90% of this kind of thing is due to poor water quality. be sure to stay on top of that stuff.
yeah i try each week i check the water param and water changes every other day but this week i notice deaths and sickness its just killing me
im thining of adding water from my established tank afterwards and seeing if those waters bateria can help the tank
you know, what i do is....VVateverzYo;2440788; said:
on the established tank, i pull half of the bio filter and put it into the non-established tank. and vica versa.
what this does is bypass's the whole cycle process. while the new filter is colonizing bacteria, the established filter is holding the tank in order. also, everyday, throw a cup of established water into the tank.
