Water stats from today

The flubenol also arrived today so i have followed the istructions and added it to the tank, how long should it be before i see results if any?

Any chance you could post the stats in 'Normal terms' sorry not used to the N....

PH
Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate

Thanks, might be able to help you out then, not sure about the med not used it before, wait til someone in the 'know' comes online.

How are the fish looking?

 

[tommo1988]

Sorry
NH3= ammonia (gas)
NH4=ammonium (dissolved/ionic)
NO3= Nitrate
NO2= Nitrite
just FYI

Ammonia 0mg/l
Nitrite 0.1mg/l
Nitrate 5mg/l
pH - 7

The fish are looking fine besides the platy who seems to have not improved but i only added the med 1hr ago so hopefully he will improve later.

You have a slight nitrite reading there.
Don't no how long it will take to see improvement, depends on the damage the parasites have done, good luck.
