Ok so I am treating a couple of sick fish in my main tank and they seem to be turning around, I had lost three of my five due to introducing a sick fish to my main tank without proper qt like I know I shuld have.
I now have a clean 14 gallon with heater and HOB, I was wondering a couple of things one can I use some of the BIO media from my canister fitler that runs on my main tank to seed it or cycle it?
How long should I qt my new discus before I would introduce him into the main tank? (after it has been treaed and everything is cool again)
can I fill the 14 gallon with some of the water from 30 gallon? which is well established and no known issues with it?
and I was told to use some aqurium salt to add to my main 55 gallon discus tank to help with the treatment I am treating with QC for some skin issues and the aqurium lights are off I am in the 2nd day of treatment?
I thought salt for discus was bad, but was told by anotehr member on Simply to use one tsp per gallon to help with the treatment?
I know its a lot of questions and I have it all under one thread but I can't help it after this hopefully I will be better off
I shuld have qt like I knew I was suppose to I was just so imptient and wanted to see them altogether that I just skiped it what a dumb costly mistake not only the money which hurts but loosing my fish I was so proud of patting my self on the back doing a good job I thought and boom one sick fish wiped out three of my five and I hope I can save the last two and do things rite this time.
I know there is a learning curve in any hobby but I knew I shulda qt and I never did before and never had an issue until now I guess I learned the hard way.
