PICS! 105 custom tall: aquabee's exit from the world of nanos

fish still not doing any better?

[eklikewhoa]

sigh... I guess that is true.


If it makes you feel better I have been doing 100+% water changes daily to make sure my fish don't die from a bloom/spike. You're not alone!

See above. :)

Thanks Quockarooney. I just would hate to lose that geo. How are your fish holdin up?

[eklikewhoa]

They're good, I don't think they notice much seeing as though I've been doing 100% water changes, they probably like it better this way. Me on the other hand is tired of doing water changes.

[sunkenmetal]

That sucks :(

:( How much longer to go?

Hit that tank hard with the salt B! You've already accepted to lose the plants so go all out with the dosing!

Well, I tried the Stability thing and it almost seemed to make it worse so I stopped that and stopped being lazy and do what I normally do, 100% wc to ease the process. With the 30g it was so much easier, this 180g worth of water sucks.

I'm on day three now I guess and they all seem fine and the water is clearing up a bit better everyday. I smelt something funny with the tap water last night so I've been running the carbon bottle a lot slower than I would like but hopefully by the beginning of next week everything will be back in order.

Water changes, amquel+plus and sea salt have been my daily routine.

Well, I'm just glad the fish are ok. Hopefully just a few more days and you'll pull through! Then you can take a nap. :)

Well due to the endless generosity of my fellow boxers, I was able to borrow a 30 gallon quarantine tank and some Quick Cure (malachite green and formalin) and some CopperSafe. I took out my sickie and put her in the quarantine with tank water, 1 tsp/5 gal salt, Kordon organic Ich Attack, and 1.8 mL of the Quick Cure, as well as some of the plants. Temp at 87. I have a Koralia nano and an airstone agitating the surface. I added the CopperSafe to the main tank, where all the geos are active but one still has some spots. That's a month-long dose, so hopefully it should cover whatever parasites are left.

The sickie actually looks a million times better than she did this morning. The way she had looked had me in a panic. She still won't eat anything but I moved her to a new tank which probably pissed her off a bit. She's breathing a bit hard but I think it's from stress more than anything, since I have both the airstone and the circ pump in there.

Here's some updated pics of the tank, sans emperors or rummies. :( I actually found one rummy and a few emperors and moved them to my nano, along with a dose of Ich Attack. And at the end is a vid of the sickie.

FTS from a few days ago:










RIP, rummies in the background with their murderer up front:










Sickie in her new tank:

[eklikewhoa]

1TBSP per 5gal. of salt and continue to dose the main tank!

I know dude. I ran out of salt.

[eklikewhoa]

Sea salt, make sure there is NO ANTI-CAKING agent.

The others are starting to look really nice!
