    chcs

    I dosed my tank up to 2tbsp to 5 gallons of water.....no effect on echinodorus.....unless if you have a substrate heater....it must be off!

    what are you going to treat anyway?

    actually i dun really noe what it is but symptom exhibit are clamped fins and twitching action and listlessness reason 4 use salt is becoz seems like salt can treat broad spectrum of illness and guess it does not cause a greater impact in planted tank as it is not chemical pls correct if i am wrong thanks

    hi chcs

    it may be good to test your water parameters......especially for NO2 and NO3.....did you add anything new into your tank that may alter the water chemistry or the biofilter?....when was the last time you flush your sustem.......
