I'm using flourish 3x/wk along with equilibrium once a wk after the 50% change, alternating w/ 3x/wk addition of KNO3 and KH2PO4...just have to make sure I'm adding enough I suppose.
Yeah...I reacted a little too late and have lost 4 out of 5 denison barbs ($$$) thus far. I'm pretty sure the 5th isn't going to make it. My clown loach and black shark are showing signs of ich too, but my rainbow shark, dwarf puffer and SAEs look OK. It's a love/hate relationship w/ the black shark...a big bully that likes to nibble on the plants, but has quite a personality. It was an (maybe unfortunate) impulse buy at Petco, and I wish I had done some research beforehand.
Since my "jumpers" are now all but gone, I've taken this as an opportunity to remove my glass lids and mount my lights (now both single strip) on adjustable flip-open legs. This should make tank management much easier and removes the annoying shadow cast on the plants.
I'll make sure to keep the temp raised for a while (I'm thinking at least a couple weeks after the last signs) and drop it slowly....I've stress these guys enough already!
Thanks again for the feedback.
