White poop and flicking?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Right now my impression is they are poisoned by the release of toxins that can be in that sealant. If it says it has mildew resistant in it. That will kill fish over a week period. I know from experience when I got back into retail 10 years ago & was doing two sections sealing my filters in the tanks. I ordered a retail value about $800-1000. worth of starter fish & they all fell ill & died over a weeks time. So drained the 32 tanks or so & started over & salted them etc..
Brought another batch of hardy basic stuff & same thing all fell ill & died in a weeks time! Buddy (electrician) asked about the sealant. Pulled it of the trash & was 100% but in fine print it has a mildew resistant chemical in it. Kills fish!

Pull rocks out & do a 50% + water change, then add a couple bio chem zorbs to your filters. Its made by Aquarium Pharm. This stuff is like a religion to us. It will help exorb toxins etc.. Just remove the grey treys & put these in their place. Make sure you rinse the Bio chem bags before placing in there.

Let me know how it goes.

I dont think they sell Bio-Chem Zorb in Hawaii. I went to a few LFS looking for it, but no luck. Out of all the fish in the tank, only one albino zebra survived. The rest all died.

Will the silicone stop releasing toxins eventually ? I was planning to do alot of water changes and scrub everything down, then attempt to start again.

Will this work ? or do i need to permanently remove the siliconed rocks ?

Thanks !
