Regular Member Captain Findus Goldfish Posted March 12, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2012 1gal is about 4liters. So 2.5% means 25grams per liter. So 25x4 is 100grams 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kukana d Posted March 12, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks,Fede! I should put them into a different tank as they come out,right? What should I do about the pond? Do you think just the .3% would be enough for them? I need to go examine the fish out there. The other thing about the pond is that the manufacturer says it's 195g,BUT when measured it comes out to 300+ gallons! the MM will be here by 1030am tomorrow. Fede,what a/b would you use? I've heard from someone else who said his fish from this source arrived w/ ich and costia! There is SOOOOO much info-what could be going on,but I can start w/ the dips and go from there. Is it ok to dip multiple fish into the same batch of the salt dip? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Captain Findus Goldfish Posted March 12, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2012 I only use MetroMeds now mostly. I think they would be perfect for this. The salt dips will help. It would be beneficial to do something like this: take fish - place in dip - put into a holding tub with perfectly clean 0.3% salted water (all the treated fish) - clean out their main tank - place fish back in clean tank filled with 0.3% salt. Again, not sure how possible this is with your water set up etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Captain Findus Goldfish Posted March 12, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2012 Good luck! This is why I have stopped getting new fish for a while now. I am really enjoying my low maintenance and healthy tanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member kukana d Posted March 12, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2012 Can I use salt w/ .25 ammonia present? Will Prime make the necessary adjustment so it wont be harmful? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Anic Posted March 12, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think that the Prime should be sufficient. I've read that sometimes you can get a false reading when you use Prime so if you use it and still get a 0.25 you'd actually have 0. Let's wait for Mr. Smartypants to come back, he would know for sure but I still think you'd be safe Sent from my Captivate using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
