White Spot Disease Treatment in Planted Tank

[PlAnTaNoOb]

Hi,

My tank's infested with Ich. I'm thinking of using Super Slime, White Spots and Velvet Away (Ocean Free) to treat them. Is it ok to use this chemical in a heavily planted tank with snails and shrimps? Is it really harmless to filter bacteria as stated on the label?

You may use but half the dosage, usually all in ones are quite 'potent'. If your PH crash after you use this, it means you know what....your last question. PS: I'm assuming here your tank is 'matured'.

thanks for your help Michael! Err.. I just replanted everything this afternoon, and did a major water change, but filter's been used for years with Eheim Substrate pro inside. Hmm... You mean if all the bacteria dies, PH will drop?

Hi Bros,

just wanna share. I used half the dosage stated on the label for Super Slime, White Spots and Velvet Away (Ocean Free), and after one week, the tank's totally rid of any signs of white spots disease. Thumbs up for that product. Just half the dosage and only dosed once. After water change, all fishes are healthy.

other suggestion. Can try waterlife protozin. It seems to have good effective and plus it does not do any harm to the plants. Not sure about the shrimps
