Sorry about the previous post. Something went completely wrong and it didnt include my text. So here's a second try.
I just bought the clown triggerfish a week ago and it seems to have ick. I am considering doing the TTM with two 4 gallon buckets. Should I have filtration when using the TTM or is a hydor koralia pump sufficient with just water circulation? With regard to water temperature I should be fine as the temperature here does not fluctuate much. Please let me know and any tips are welcome!
I think I see something that could be ick on the fins.... but the pic is too blurry. You can use the buckets depending on the size of the fish. You'll need to watch out for ammonia, but using a power head pointed at the surface of the water should suffice. The only problem with using the buckets (assuming it's size appropriate for the fish) is that you can't see if anything else shows up during treatment. ex: flukes, velvet, bacterial infection ect. Just keep that in mind.
