Tip: keeping track of meds in a hospital tank

[whetu]

I recently had an injured fish and I found it useful to use a black marker pen and write the medication dosages directly on the glass tank.

On the front of the tank I drew a line showing the water level when the tank contained exactly 20 litres. Then I used the formulae on the med bottles to calculate how much medication I needed for 20 litres of water and how often it should be administered. I wrote that on the front of the tank too.

On the end of the tank I ruled up a chart with columns for date, time and what meds I had administered.

When you have finished with a hospital tank you are always going to clean it very thoroughly, so it's simple just to rub off your writing.

I hope this tip helps someone. Having a sick fish can be stressful enough as it is without trying to remember all the medication details too.

That is a great Idea, It is what I used to do with fish in Quarantine. Comes off with meths when finished.

I used a paste of baking soda & water to get it off. Just like my grandmother used to do.
