I haven't had ich myself (fingers crossed), but thanks for the heads
up. All my tanks have their heaters plugged in except for the
quarantine tank I had my little potential female 'scarlet Badis'
in....that got unplugged when the last one died (grump).
I admit that in the past, when I have mysterious deaths in a tank,
I've put a bag of ChemiPure in my filter box. I often wonder about
odd pollutants in my tap water that don't get tied up or removed by
my filtration or water conditioning steps. I get lazy and don't
always run my replacement water through a deionization column (don't
have a RO unit). The resin-type chemical filtration often helps solve
those issues. However, it also removes a lot of the goodies your
plants want and/or the medications you may have added to the
tank....so that is a dilemma. And now that I've gone to sponge
filtration for many of my tanks, hmmmmmm....that's another dilemma.
Anyway, that's one suggestion...
