Hi all, Nice to meet you, although i feel like i know you all already. Names Bob, long time lurker first time poster. I Set up a small AP System earlier this year and thanks to own impatience have been through quite a few fish. 1st, chopped up IBC tank, filled top with scoria (?small volcanic rock), flipped it, placed it on top of, I'm sure you get it. 2nd, threw in 10 goldies, 1 week later 4 silver perch. It was all going well until i bought 15 mail order perch, within a few days i had Ich. Now i researched this fully and separated, salted and water changed but never fully got rid of it, as i never fully completed any of the treatments. The last of the surviving fish (10 Goldies) are FINALLY in a separate hospital tank and after a 2 weeks seem to be clean. The main tank has been emptied, cleaned, and is now housing 20 Goldies that seem to be disease free. My Question is this, in my hospital tank, again due to my own impatience, i added Multi Cure, http://www.aristopet.com.au/?page=72&it ... &dosearch= as these are not eating fish i figured no worries but am now having second thoughts. Can they be reintroduced to the AP System? Will there be any side effects on the plants? My original plan, i thought i would just put them in (clean) AP system water for a week or so in the hospital tank, then put them back in the system. Thoughts?? |

The material data sheet says it is an s5 anticeptic. "Schedule 5 (S5) drugs and poisons are substances and preparations that: Have low toxicity or a low concentration Have a low to moderate hazard Can cause only minor adverse effects to human being in normal use Require caution in handling, storage, or use " I would think a week in clean water, as long as they are eating, would clean them out just fine. The concentrations that those little bodies could absorb and leach out have got to be pretty miniscule. Personally I would not worry about it. But if it worries you, get new fish. |
