Hi All,

I will be rescuing mainly cleaning and bringing a tank back to life (not mine). Its in a poor state atm and im planning on doing a major water change siphoning all fish waste.

Im not sure if any disease has broken out should a give it a dose of Aqua master - Multi-Cure just to be sure ?.

the filter has mysteriously broken down and you can imagine what would happen.

End Note: With a little TLC im sure i can bring it back to speed.

Good Luck, hope all goes well

never medicate unless you know for SURE there is a particular disease going on...im sure a good gravel vac with clean water and some stresscoat + or prime for a few days will give them a super boost

Tank is in pretty bad health how much water should i remove, the filter has broken down and a new one will be replaced within the next 36hrs.

Shawnie

id do 50% daily fora few weeks...keep the filter media wet with the tank water..im sure it has some needed bacteria on it!

Hi;Mike19-Are there any fish in the tank? bella

Mike19

yeah there are some fish, this isn't my tank i have just volunteered to get things back on track.

shih-tzu mom

Well, then i agree with Shawnie, if there are fish. i hope you get it all fixed up Mike19-and very nice of you to help your friend. bella

I definitely agree with Shawnie. No meds unless someone is ill. If you need to medicate one, use a Q tank.
Nice clean water and getting the cycle where it needs to be should do wonders.

Nice job on the rescue.
