Sorry Colin maybe I should of explained that abit better it’s the dose rate that I’m confused with

I think it is 20ml for every 200 litres

 

[AlexT]

It will be on the bottle. Can you post a picture of the part of the bottle that has the dose part

 

[Essjay]

The bottle has a cup diagram at the bottom of the reverse of the label. That shows how much to use for which water volume.
2.5 ml for 25 litres
5 ml for 50 litres
10 ml for 100 litres.

So you use 1 ml for each 10 litres of water volume.

Is the the 125 litre tank or the upgraded 300 litre tank you mentioned in another thread?

A 125 litre tank will contain ~105 to 110 litres water, so that's 10.5 to 11 ml Protozin depending in exactly how much water. A 300 litre tank is likely hold ~270 litres water, so that's 27 ml Protozin.

The instructions say to add on days 1, 2, 3 and 6 for ich.

That makes more sense to me now thank you

I still have the 125litre

My 300 is not getting delevered till next week but will want to sort out this problem before starting with that tank

 

[Mathew1991]

Another 2 dead when I got home

Got the meds in now

 

[AlexT]

It's hard what you are going through, but at least you can get things ship shape for the 300L. So what stock do you actually have left in the 125 now?

 

[Mathew1991]

5 mollys
Few tetras cardinal
Few bh tetras
Pleco
2 frogs
10’corys

Hopefully I don’t lose anynore

I don't think you have lost any corys? I know we have to sort the current situation out, but what would you like to do with the 300 in terms of stocking?

 

[Mathew1991]

No not lost any corys, I’m not to sure I would be open to suggestions on what people think

 

[AlexT]

Will get back to you. You have fairly soft water don't you. About 7 degree hardness, which is about 125ppm.

 

[Mathew1991]

Yer that’s about right I think I posed a photo in this thread

 

[Mathew1991]

Another mollie has gone and another 3 tetras are fading in colour so they are going to die aswell

 

[AlexT]

With the recent deaths, have any had the spots or missing/damaged fins?

 

[Mathew1991]

The Mollys had no sign of anything
The cardinals just seem to fade then die
And the bh they are the ones that end up with missing fine but the last one didnt

 

[AlexT]

And the ammonia and nitrite are still coming back zero?

Also, is there any signs of any fish in the tank rubbing against objects like they have an itch the scratch? For the corydoras, they would rub themselves on the substrate as well.
