    Dang. That's horrible. I am sorry to hear it. When are you gonna try to catch him?

    I actually already caught all the fish and I am doing the TTMethod right now. The achilles was stressed last night and full of ick all over his eyes body looked like he was going to die but now has almost no ick and is recovering very fast, and surprisingly he was the one with the most ick the others barely had it or didn't have it at all, the hippo blue tang and the potters angel did not make it to the trip home but the rest made it!

    I did 20 gallons out of the 120 gallons

    Yeah... that's not even 20%, you'll need to do like 50% so make a small dent... and probably have to do that a few times.

    Are you dosing any bacteria? Zeobak, Microbacter? Etc?

    Nope I haven't dosed anything

    Might be a good idea. I dose Zeobak twice a week and dose it after Amy water change or fish addition

    What does zeobak do? Remove nitrate?

    Essentially. It's a bacteria in a bottle kinda thing. I've been doing it for years based on carbon dosing.

    Ok so I just added the bio pellet reactor added half the recommended doses and it says to add that weekly? Not sure what that means. Do I keep adding until the reactor is full or until I see the nitrates are down then remove I all?

    Percentage of nitrate reduction is equal to the percentage of water changed. If you change 25% of your water, your nitrates will be 25% lower.

    Would it do anything to the tank if I did 60 gallon change?

    What type of bio pellets do you guys use and where did you get it from?

    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I used BRS brand for a long time. I've had a lot of trouble with them clumping or floating... so I'm current drying dr tims. So far so good.

    If your using biopellets do you need to run Gfo? Or do u run both?
