Spink Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hey I just lost a fish to a weird fungal type growth in my hospital tank, and now I'm trying to figure out what I do now. I had originally purchased that tank to set up to breed my CPD's but needed to use it for the hospital tank before I got as far as putting my CPD's in it. Question is, do I have to empty the tank out completely and re-cycle it from new after cleaning it, or can you do partial water changes and still use it for other fish? I don't want to run the risk of transferring an unknown bug to my CPD's or any of my other fish, so I thought I'd sort this out before I made any moves... any suggestions?

mr pleco Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 did you medicate the tank ? if so run carbon for at least 24 hours in yr filter and do 1/2 water change if not two choices two 1/2 water changes over three days or strip tank and start again and use cycled water out of other tank to get it started dont strip filter just rinse in old water this should be fine which ever makes you feel more better but either should suffice just IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I had medicated the tank with tonic, but didn't work It's only an 8 litre little jobie so i think I might go with the 1/2 water change today and again in two days time and see how it looks. It probably would be just as easy to change the whole thing, but I might just see how it goes so as not to disturb it too much - Thanks for your help!
