Ich

ok on monday added correct dose of interpet 6 ,second dose went in thursday but they all seem to be more ichy? is this normal.
also the med says 30% water change 7 days after last med, i have 2 buckets each holding 10ltrs my tank is 180ltrs, i was wandering how soon the declorinating treatment takes to work as i usually add to both buckets and leave overnight,in this case i will need almost 6 buckets in one go?.
thanks for any help

What fish do you have, turn temp up to 30 increase aeration as the med and high temp will reduce 02 in the water.

Declorinators works straight away, yes get that temp bumped up, but you will have to increase aeration or they will gasp at the surface, can't see any scaless fish in the list, so i would add abit of salt as well, how many gallons is the tank.
Whitespot sometimes can take two round of med sometimes, as it can vary from tank to tank, so don't panic yet.

No salt then, plus check the instructions on the med as clown loaches are funny with whitespot meds, good luck.
