A little bit of reading my post and you would have seen it said Copper Sulfate. You would have also seen that I asked a question relating to its effects on bacteria in my tank. You failed to comprehend both what the ingredients were and what my question was. I read the wiki article before I...

I did list the ingredients. COPPER SULFATE. Either you know or you don't. Its ok if you don't know everything.

I appreciate your insight. I figured that much out already, though. Doing the water changes daily now. What I would really like to know is not why my fish has ich, but if Copper Sulfate (Aquarisol) used as directed affects the nitrifying bacteria that is trying to colonize in my tank. I can't...

Will using aquarisol (to treat ich) diring the 2nd half of the cycling process on a new tank disrupt this process, or will using as directed not harm the bacteria? began cycling (by adding a pleco) to a new tank about 28 days ago. Low-to-no amonia, very high nitrite, now pleco has the ich real...

So any idea if Aquari-Sol will harm the bacteria and set the cycling process back or will should my tank be fully cycled by the time i get rid of this ick (hopefully)?

I forgot to mention I have an airstone, so I imagine aeration is good. I have algae wafers for the pleco, both would eat them (until recently) and the fungus as well (until recently). from what I've gathered the fungus comes from inside the driftwood and is harmless to the fish, just unsightly...

My first tank. Its an 18gal tall and I'm getting it set up with driftwood (soon to add Java Moss, Java Fern, and some Anubias). Eventually I want a school of tetras (neon or emerald eye) and a pair of blue rams. So I've had my tank set up for about 5 weeks now and I'm about 28 days into the...
