My tap water nitrates were about 30-40ppm which is why I decided to move over to RO.
My water process is that I fill 25% of a 25 litre container (I have two of these to give me a total of 50 litres) with tap water, add Seachem Prime and then let my RO unit fill up the rest. I then put a heater in the jerry can to get it to the right temperature before using a pump to add it to the tank.
If I was ageing the water how long would you suggest doing this for?
The AquaCare Anti-Fluke and Wormer instructions are as you've mentioned; treat one dose and then re-treat once a week up to four times. I was unsure if I should be doing water changes in this time and if I was, whether or not I should add the proportional dosing amount to the newly added water.
Thanks for the advice about Epsom salts, I'll give this a go.
Is there any thing you can think of that would explain the strange behaviour of the first discus (and now definitely another couple have started acting strangely) over the last ten days?
Also another symptom that I've noticed that I'm not sure if it's relevant is the discus ruffling or twitching their dorsal fins. Not sure if this is relevant?
Thanks for the help!
