So I managed to make 2 fish traps and caught out my pinstripe wrasse and royal gramma so my tank is now fallow and my fish are in a treatment tub. Being in the UK we only have seachem cupramine really available - so this is what I have.
Because I have a wrasse being treated I want to get to the therapeutic dose over 7 days or so, this says 0.5 on the bottle, is this what im shooting for? I have a copper test (seachem) to carry out daily.
Now for the tank - I read that I need to make sure there’s no anoxic environments or the Ich May go dormant and come back - I have a big baster to blow out my Rocks as best I can, but I also have an external canister which is full of seachem matrix - the whole idea of that being that the middle of that media is anoxic to break down nitrate - so my question is if I take my matrix and blast it in highly oxygenated tank water will that be enough to blast through any trophonts? Or will dosing h2O2 increase the oxygen enough to do this? Are the trophonts too big to make it to the centre of matrix?
Any advice much appreciated -
Also any clarification on best fallow length? If I up to 27c (currently at 25c) will it reduce it any?
Sorry for all the questions!
