    You say you have the same tap water pH problem as me? Is it below 6 from the tap? How do you manage to keep it up and stable, my sea shells seem to get it up to about 6.4 but after a water change, it just goes back down to 6 or below. My tap water also has 0 kh, so I have no buffering capability which is why the pH fluctuates. If you have any tips they would be greatly appreciated.

    Hiya! Quick question... Are you sick of me yet??lol
    Anyway, I am at week 2 with my ICH problem you were helping me with and the fish are all still alive. They still have quite a few spots though and have started to develope what looks like fin rot. I can see a white(ish) outline around some of the fins and one dorsel looks pretty ragged. I am not sure if the damage is due to flashing. They all seem to be eating well but it doesn't seem to be getting better. Would you suggest being more aggressive with the treatment yet?
    PS I posted a few pics of the fish on the "Sigggghhh Ich" thread if it helps.(No pics of damaged fins though)
    It does seem a little heavier now than it has at all during the high temp and salt treatment. Should I use meds for ich yet or should I use anything for the fin rot? I am really at a loss at this point.
