Hello all,
I had recently gone on vacation and when I came back I had serious problems with my 80 gallon tank. All my fish had shown signs of ick and internal bacterial infections. I treated the tank with maracyn for 5 days and out of 7 fish I have had only one make it. I guess that is the last time I let anyone tend to my tank again even with very detailed instructions!!!!!The part that concerns me now and that I need help with is my drastic reduction in algae and other growth. I tested the ammonia and I have now gotten a level of around 3.0-4.0 ppm. The only thing I can figure is maybe the maracyn affected the stability of my tank although I am not sure.The one fish I have left is a yellow tang and it is showing no visible signs of stress at all. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thank you
