??? :-\ :'( >:(
I thought when I retired my stress would be gone. Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First: I have four 75 gal tanks set on a wet dry filter and water change system.
Water is from a well and from the tap it is:
PH 7.4
KH 7
GH 5
TDS 112ppm
Ok, One of the 75 gal tanks the fish (8 4-5") stopped eating and cowered in corner, color still good and fish alert and skittish.
After two days I started to get worried and took this tank out of line and started treating with PraizPro, Four days and know improvment. 50% water change each day. No Improvment! Changed 100% water and went to Metro 250 mg per 10 gal. temp. 86, second day started to see white/clear poop. No other improvment! 50% w/c after first day. added Metro second and third day know w/c and added 45 tbls salt, Powerhead for added air injection raised temp to 90 for have started nibbleing at frozen brine shrip still see white/clear poop now and then, but are pushing each other around now and them and started to move a little.
I think things are improving! Shoud I do a water change 50 or 100% and re-add meds and salt?????? Can I expect my other tanks to come down with this problem??? Any other suggestions ????
Second I have four young pairs (?) two sets in 29 gal. 1 set in 125 gal Community and one set in 75 gal with two other BD Like i said young guessing 12 months size range from 4 to 6.5". I cannot get a wiggler one. Usually 30% w/c everyday or 50% every other day. Have know trouble with Angle's know prob. with nitrite, nitrate, or ammonia. Know RO Unit, but with 112 ppm TDS I should get something, shounldn't I??????? Any help or suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Rich
