Ive learned a lot and certainly have become a better aquarist because of it. Second, does the following sound about right for an ich treatment?
After five months of waiting and cycling and more waiting, I finally stocked my 120 gal with seven juvenile (2″-3″) discus last weekend (no QT, I know, but I can only have one tank). Its continuing inhabitants include ten cardinal tetras and five Corydoras. There are no live plants. Two days ago, I noticed that three discus had come down with ich. There were only 2-4 spots per fish, but they were definitely there. I started treating immediately: daily 25% water changes with gravel vacuuming followed by a daily 110 gal-size dose of Rid-Ich+ (produces a concentration of 15 ppm formalin and 0.05 ppm malachite green), combined with a gradual temp increase. I made sure to remove the carbon from my filters; should I also remove the peat as well? < If the treatment looks like it is working then leave the peat alone.
