DAY 61 — Cloudy water is officially back. Totally bummed out right now. It's been 2 days since treating with GC. Yes, I know prazi only needs 24 hours to do its work, but getting to the 5-7 days mark like @Humblefish and others recommend seems daunting at best. And then I'd need to do another dose!
For the record, here is how I dosed the GC: per the instructions I used 1 whole packet (because I'm dosing 10 gallons) and I just dumped the whole packet right into the tank. I'm not re-dosing after 48 hours like API recommends, but instead waiting 5-7 days, doing a 25%+ water change and then re-dosing.
After dumping in that packet, it looked like a snow globe in the tank for a bit. A lot of the GC particles ended up dusting the bottom of the tank, which is still dusty today. The water started clouding up maybe 24 hours ago, but only got noticeably murky this afternoon/evening.
Firefish dorsal is growing back if it's any consolation.
Oh and the goby seems to get a red line that appears and disappears, going from its mouth and down its jaw, almost like a vein.
