Hello everyone,
I recently posted on here about needing help diagnosing my tang and now my puffer with ich but it is definitely ich. I now have them both in two separate QT tanks so I could dose the puffer a little gentler than my tang. A few questions though to make sure I get this right. Do I need some sort of circulation pump or wave maker in them? In my puffers QT tank I have a bubble wand and that seems to keep him moving but my tang doesn’t have anything. They’re only 10 gallon QT tanks and I can’t seem to find anything that would be gentle enough for that size. Should I get one for both or in QT is it okay? Also, should there be ammonia spikes, how can I do water changes? I read that you essentially add water dosed the same level as what is in the tank and while this sounds simple (and maybe this is being dumb) wouldn’t adding water with the same concentration of copper still raise it as I would be adding more? If someone could simplify this for me that would be great.
