Captain Findus Goldfish 272 Posted March 12, 2012 1gal is about 4liters. So 2.5% means 25grams per liter. So 25x4 is 100grams 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kukana d 57 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Findus Goldfish 272 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Findus Goldfish 272 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kukana d 57 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Findus Goldfish 272 Posted March 12, 2012 I don't know. I don't have ammonia in my tap. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kukana d 57 Posted March 12, 2012 Anyone know? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anic 37 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
