I have a 90 gallon cichlid tank with an acrylic wet/dry. The fish are demasoni, kenyi, and johnnai. I am seeing popeye in the kenyi which has come and gone for some time now, over prob period of a year or less. On one of my johnnai's there is a growth on one of his pectoral fins. It just looks like a small white/red mass about the size of a ball point on a pen. I believe most of this is due to my neglect. The wet/dry was a big nitrate factory since the bioballs were "gooped" up. I removed them and put in filter floss for the time being. I was running carbon for a few days after thoroughly cleaning the tank and the substrate.
Now i took the carbon out to treat the tank....i used maracyn 2 for a few days(not the recommended dose of 5 days continuous)since I did not get enough to complete the process. I am going out tomorrow to get some treatment and could use a little help in treating my tank right, aside from the water changes and mechanical media maintenance. anyone?
