Hello all!
After getting all excited about getting my new tank setup with CO2 and worrying about what equipment I need and so on I completely forgot about everything else which I should have asked first. Better late than never I guess!
Water changes
When are these best done in the day when injecting CO2? During the day when CO2 is on or evening when CO2 is off? Or something else?
Medications
Because of the tank move and introduction of CO2, new flow, ferts and everything else I've seen a bit of stress in the fish and noticed some fungus/fin rot show up, I have since moved these fish into quarantine and they are under treatment. Fingers crossed
The question is, can I treat my main tank with any type of medications the same way or does it effect the CO2 at all or anything I need to look out for?
New livestock
When the time comes to add some more livestock when is the best time to do so? Going from a bag with no CO2 to a fully gassed tank I would imagine could be stressful. Is there a rule of thumb for doing this?
I'm sure there are other questions but that's what has come to mind at the moment. Thanks guys for any help
