    Fins melting away

    It's been 3 weeks of salting the tank here. The good news is that all his fins are looking better and I thought he was on the mend, but his behavior changed a couple days ago and he went to the bottom of the tank and hasn't eaten. I would hospital tank him but I don't know what do use to help...

    How to remove this from panel of glass (see pics)

    I bought a used tank from CL and it has exactly the same issue as you describe. I, like you, tried everything I could throw at this fog to remove it. Unfortunately it's still there, but since I saw it before setup it's the back of the tank. It's like a backing was used that left an unremovable...

    Fins melting away

    I bite the bullet on an FX4, the tank has never looked clearer after all the cleaning. The one thing I realized is I never really changed enough water with the water changes. 60 gal at a time was simply not ample to remove the toxins. I salted this tank to 1 tbsn/5 gal and although it's hard to...

    Fins melting away

    Wow, thanks! I've used salt before. I didn't think about it as it's been so long that any medication has been used in this tank. It also used to have a can filter, but it went bad long ago. So today is big tank clean out. I gotta get some de-chlorinator and get busy. Cleaning the sump and tank...

    Fins melting away

    I dusted off the ol test kit last night and checked things out. Everything looks ok except the Nitrates. PH 6.8, 0 Amonia, 0 Nitrites. The tank runs warm about 80 degres. It is time to clean it. I'll get the sump filters this time too. Regular maintenance (about once a week) includes glass clean...

    Fins melting away

    Hi all, I don't know what else to do. I have a 150 gal tank that's been running for many years now. I don't know the parameters. I have a Red Severm as big as your hand that his fins and tail just melt away. His partner doesnt have these symptoms. There are 11 fish in this tank, raised from...
