Cool! I have everything but the siphon hose tube

Oh and I had a spare air stone that I used because I figured air stones are very porous and that since I had a spare one I would use that

Is there any diy stuff you can recommend? I throughly washed down my filter parts itself and ran hot water through the whole system for a while and then cold and did the same with my heater and air pump. Plants I hoped would do osmosis and get rid of any toxins within them over two days. And it...

I plan on checking them at least once a day and performing a water change as soon as it goes up and I have prime on hand. And thank you! I’ve been through this with ich before too and had all my fish die besides 4. It’s just hard seeing animals you love die and doing your best to help but not...

It’s definitely helpful and thank you for your advice. We can only learn from other peoples mistakes and it’s definitely not in vain. I can’t really tell if it’s from the silicone or what considering I’ve had others comment saying they’ve used it with no negative outcomes in their tank but it...

They’re good right now, 24 hours after being put back in the ammonia and nitrates are at 0ppm I will be closely monitoring it. Right now I think I have three fish that will live, there are two fish that are showing some symptoms but I’m hoping clean water and carbon and lots of monitoring and...

it’s hard because I’m a college student and I don’t have a lot of money. I poured a lot of it into redoing the tank but luckily most of what I had was live plants and the wood I used got coated in some rubber so that if anything did seep into it it was closed off now and basically fresh. And...

I can’t use old filter media because the toxins might have seeped into it, I have no choice but to restart unless I want to continue to poison them all unfortunately

They’re back in the old one. Drained whole tank rinsed all gravel for hours, wiped down inside of tank, boiled all plastics and nonlive decoration, brand new filter media, cleaned out plastic part of filter (whole thing), cleaned the heater, plasti dipped all the wood previously in the tank, and...

I think this is it for me. I think I’m done with this. I feel so horrible about it and I can’t keep losing fish.

I have no established other tanks they’re all emergency tanks so I’m assuming I need to restart

I’ve moved them into completely different tanks and took out all the water in the old one, rinsed the gravel and live plants and wood. I’m wondering now is there any way to clean the filter without restarting a new cycle? Can I clean the filter to add some new bacteria to when I set up my tank...

I moved them all into clean water last night and did a water change tonight, I’ve been double dosing prime and yet these two overnight ended up like this. I’m hoping the carbon works I just stuck a huge bag in there

Okay

Recently had silicone/super glue poisoning in my tank and have had two fish end up like this. They are alive and breathing but can’t swim. What do I do? All fish were moved from the tank a day ago into fresh water and overnight they ended up like this and I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do

Would seachem prime work? It gets rid of ammonia and nitrites as well

Is there anything to do to help silicone poisoning besides lots of water changes?

It’s hard but it will be okay, now I know. And yes I have! I love them too much to quit

Luckily I caught it before all of them died and that’s what matters and that I’m fixing it

Thank you! And yea that’s what happens when you don’t do your own research and listen to randoms on the internet. It’s my fault for not researching better and it’ll hopefully be done in 2 days

I am now restarting. lost only two fish which isn’t the worst. I’m plasti dipping all the wood so therefore the wood won’t be a problem at all. I am then drilling holes into the bottom of the wood and aquarium sealant siliconing aquarium suction cups into the hole and leaving it all to cure...

It was my mistake. On the tube it said water ready in 30 min but I waited a day. The silicone type was still wrong

Yeah GE 1 is safe 2 is not

I got specific aquarium sealant this time so that way there is no worries at all

I gave it 24 hours and yeah everything that I’m reading says two is bad

I think it was the silicone. Upon further research that brand of silicone two is unsafe and I have lost a fish. Completely emergency removed all fish into quarantine tanks and now have to restart

It was collected from a lake washed up and I boiled it for a while

Yes it is

This brand and it’s 100% silicone

Just basic silicone said it was water safe

Yeah it’s just weird every single one of my fish are huddled in the top corners of the tank in large groups of 5 and won’t go down to the bottom

Thank you! It’s 20 gallon

Thank you so much! I figured it was a bacterial bloom but I wanted more insight (: I’ll continue to keep an eye on things. And this tank would not have been possible without your beautiful driftwood thank you!

ph: 7.6 Ammonia: 0-.25 (api master kit and this is consistent so not a change for this tank) Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0 it’s very normal so I don’t get what’s going on

Someone please help I’m desperate
