Newbie with a fungus problem?
I’ll substantiate that for Deb — Do not mess with your pH — it will not be toxic if you can just get the ammonia and nitrite levels down. I just checked back to the first message in this thread, and I see you had prolonged ammonia and nitrite levels of at least 0.25 on both of these and even up to 1.0 ppm of ammonia — since December 1st — and I don’t know for how long before that. That’s at least 3 weeks of your fish being subjected to some levels of both of these compounds, and as I said, while .25 ppm may not necessarily be toxic at pH 7.6 (at 77 o ?, or so) if only kept in that for a short time, the longer the fish are subjected to this same level (of either of these waste levels) the more toxic this level will become to them. If daily 20% PWC’s is insufficient to bring these levels down, their frequency needs to be increased (and their quantity can also be increased a bit, at least to 25%, or 33%). No zeolite at this time; just bear with it until the cycle completes.
Lenny, thanks for the tip on Gmail and Outlook, I’ll have to keep that in mind for the auto-save settings. I generally go right to the Group-Page Site, open the post I’m about to reply to, and type/send my reply from there. Yes, I certainly lost it with the power failure; its no where to be found. Very frustrating after putting in all the time and effort, considering the typing and all. I’ve had that also happen when losing the internet connection, too bad Yahoo doesn’t have something to save it, its a complete waste otherwise. Ray
