Regular Member Mikey Posted January 9, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 9, 2015 Mikey, what size is the filter on the tank, is it cycled and why did you add it? Initially, there were only airstones, right? I still think there's too much current. One airstone would be sufficient. That's a big head to carry around.AC 70 on lowest setting, yes it is cycled. I guess to keep it pristine no matter what :don't yes there were only 2 air stones. It is big. :/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like you to remove the airstone and watch Puff for a couple of hours to see if her swimming patterns change at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin koko Posted January 9, 2015 Admin Share Posted January 9, 2015 Oh! Blacks thread. Googs. Oh yes hun Also remember with Silver it might take down your cycle... So you will need to test and keep the water clean if the ammonia and such starts to build... Placing Carbon in will remove it and 100% water change 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you dont need to move it hun... just make sure you dont have carbon in it... then I want you for now to just treat her in a 2 gallon bowl max put 12 drops in if you get the 500ppm if you get the 1100 ppm then just 6 drops of it.... Then let him sit there for 30 mins if he can... Then I want you to place him back to the tank thats all clean... We arent going to treat right now in the main tank hun.... But if we have to we can and do it little different 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Mikey Posted January 12, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 12, 2015 According to Amazon it was delivered Sunday didn't know that so I didn't check the mail. Oh well, it's better I treat her today because I have less homework. When I get home I'm going to wipe and drain her QT tank and then once it's all filled and set up, I'm going to start the silver treatment. 12 drops in 2 gallons of water for 30 minutes, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
