so I just lost a fish and I wasn't sure what it was but now 2 of my other fish have tiny white spots on them. I am going to try and fire up a hospital tank tomorrow. I ran out of salt on Saturday and bought a new bucket from Amazon but it is in transit so I have to go to the LFS tomorrow and buy some salt water to replenish what I take out of my tank.
Going to fill it with water from th DT
#1 going to put my filter sock in there from the DT been in the DT for 4 days (longest thing I have)
The tank I have for qt is a 29 gallon bow front I am hoping this will accommodate my fish
-- davinci clown
-- Flame Angel
-- Hifin goby
-- Blue Chromis
-- Small Hippo Tang
#2 - Aquaclear hob filter that I am going to use for oxygenation of the water
#3 - 250 w heater (scary big) for this but it is what I have extra at the moment
#4 - Maxijet 900 for water circulation within the tank
#5 - 1.5" pvc elbows and a couple of 3/4" couplers
#6 - Sticky thermometer
#7 - Bought some Kordon Rid-Ich Plus (all petco) had. I just placed an order on amazon tonight for a bunch of meds (can be found in my other thread) but this stuff looks like it will be a good start.
#8 - Picking up an ammonia badge tomorrow; Petco didn't have any and my go to store is closed on Mondays
Anything I am missing or overlooking? I would really hate to kill all my fish. I plan on following the prescribed treatment on the #7 item and then letting my DT tank be fish-less for 60 days.
Can the banded pistol shrimp carry ich as well? I know that you aren't suppose to treat inverts, I am just wondering if I need to put him in a separate tank on his own to make sure that I do this properly.
