I am setting up a hospital tank in my old 55 gallon tank. Do I really need to get in cycled before I put one fish in? Meaning can I just add water mix the salt and get the
PH and other factors in order and not worry about the
nitrogen cycle.
The cycle will take 2 weeks and well the fish might die first.
The clarkie clown has been hanging on for 4 weeks. She is sluggish and tends to remain in the corner swimming vertical (Nose up) She does eat but will not swim much to get it, we just drop the pellets so they land near her.
We do have a Fox Face in the tank, I suppose its possible it stung the clown. Or maybe she has something else (Not ich) that is not killed by
copper.
We did clean a bunch of algae or cyno that was all over the reef, the water was stirred up full of it but the other fish were not affected. Sometime after that she started acting strange.
What other non
copper treatments could be used?
