Hey Steve if you buy a ring light and put it behind your camera and it shines on your face, the camera tends to balance out the over exposure on fish tanks. I bought a ring light to film myself by the tanks with my android phone and the fish tanks are not so over exposed with light. Hope this helps.
I've got a phliphine blue of Angel fish I purchased, and the female started with white stingy poop and not wanting to eat. She's got normal poop now, and wants to eat almost too much. after about 2.5 weeks of treatment with metroplex. I'm concerned now because she's got a dark hole that's getting bigger. The pair was moved to a bare bottom tank and I'm removing poop daily. I hear you saying that hard water isn't good. I have well water and since changing water every few days later. Do you have any suggestions?
My discus eat very poorly. A few will take a ltiny amount of frozen brine shrimp reluctantly. Some will also eat blackworms. One doesn't eat at all. These are newly purchased discus in a 370 gallon system. They have zero interest in frozen beefheart. Occassionally I see the white feces. Very infrequently I also see flicking on an object as though to scratch themselves. So, to improve their eating, do you recommend I just do water changes with softened water as a first treatment before using meds?
Okay so the overall advice given in this video is to keep the water soft and acidic. What's the best and esiest way to do that? I keep adding the product pH down by API to a 100 gallon tank and it still reads 7.5 using API's test kit. I'll go broke trying to keep the water at a low pH in a larger system using this product. Is there an inexpensive way to keep water acidic and soft?
About to start treatment now on my Snakeskin, and I'm also going to start feeding blackworms which are less prone to carrying disease!

But you didn’t show us treatment🤔
Will metroplex kill the heximita that is in the water column/poop or just expel it from the fish?
👍 🐟

RODI water, then adding Kents RO Right. BOOM! Your welcome!
one of my discus still eating aggressively, poop black solid normal, act normal, swim normal, but still skinny bony . Was it hexamitha still?
Use praziquantil, or prazipro
@@ScubaSteve4444 thx
Can freeze dried blood worms also cause hexamita?
Logically I wouldn't think so because they are dried. But I have heard others that won't use freeze dried. Up to the individual hobbyist 💯👊
@@ScubaSteve4444 Thanks bro for letting me know..I would be cautious when feeding FDBW to my discus!
Freeze dried is supposed to be safe.
