Per sticky#2 format:
1. 90 gallons
2. Water parameters unchecked for 5 days. After joining and reading through these foroms I will no longer rely on "you're water is great" when the LFS checks it. I will be buying a test kit next chance I get.
3. Fresh water
4. The tank is well established @ 7 months.
5. loach, pictus catfish, pleco, 8 tetras, dwarf gurami, 8 snails, two angels.
All fish are medium except for small angels.
6. no quarantine other than 10 minute float in a bag for temp acclimitization.
7. 79 degree temp ( I live in Florida)
8. 1/2 plastic 1/2 plant with driftwood piece (eventually moving to 100% plant). Gravel is pebble, florite plant gravel around new plants. {What can I say? I originally did'nt think I'd do natural plants, but I'm now facinated by them.
9. 405 Fluval filter (lovely system)
10. none
11. Lighting goes from sunup to about an hour or two after sunset.
12. I gravel vac 40% every other week.
13. I feed daily, but not much.
Tetracolor flakes mainly, Spectrum cichlid food at times, and for this emergency I am using Jungle anti-bacteria, medicated fish food.
14. I won the fin rot battle. Regeneration is occurring quicker than I expected. my marble angel is totally cured and doing well. My yellow angel went from brink of death to eating; however, she (guess)
still swims vertically. The marble swims near the yellow (pairing?).
15. medicated food and melafix.
Thats the good news and bad news.
