sound like you have a fair bit of experience under your belt! i wish the guys at lfs were a bit more forthcoming with the truth about setting up tanks properly, as i was told to let mine stand for a week before adding any fish, i now know this to be false. unfortunatly, it was too late hence the...

Thank's again for your advice! The links in your sig are very informative! Considerin i knew nothing about fish keepin 4 weeks ago i've learnt loads and want to do right by my fish obviously.

Thank you for the advice! Hope not to have Ich again, but wont rule it out. This may sound daft but could i use media from a cold water tank?

Was just confused as i've read the treatment can kill the bacteria, but it's important to keep cycling. Does that mean forfeitting the treatment?

I used king british white spot control, not sure if it's sold in the u.s. It just say's to remove carbon media and continue filtration.

I did continue the treatment for a week after. Was curious as to weather it my have affected the bacteria growth, as ammonia is is at between .25 and .50 ppm no no2 and 5ppm no3

I should mention the Ich has completly cleared after a number of 48 hourly 80% water changes and am 4 weeks into a fish in cycle

Hi i've just treat my tank for Ich and put new carbon media in my filter, should i replace the normal media too?

hi i started a fish in cycle two week ago, and have been testing water and doing water changes daily depending on results, usually between 25 and 50 % ammonia has remained at 0.25 nitrites - none showing at the moment and nitrates 5 ppm temp 29oC (suggested to help treat ich) although i have...

hi, im a bit of a n00b to fish keeping, i inadvertantly began a fish in cycle, then found this forum, which has offered me loads of helpful advice on how to continue. my tank currently has two platties and 5 live plants (none of which i know the name of sorry!) recently i noticed my fish had...

dont apologize, i really appreciate all the help i can get at the minute :D so thank you! i am quite the novice, its seems i've done everything back to front and everything that can go wrong pretty much has :/

oh this doesnt sound too good since im a week and a bit in to a fish in cycle :/ do you mean its worth putting some carbon media back in to my filter once the treatment is complete?

I took the carbon media out, i've upped the temp and left the lights off. How will it effect the media in my filter?

would the white spot treatment effect the bacteria in the filter?

i've been to a lps today and got some king british white spot control and added the correct dosage to my tank, and the wanter has a green tinge to it is this normal? how often should i be treating the fish with the white spot control? i also got some interpet general tonic to treat any...
