I got a couple fish that can't tolerate high temps, would probably stress
them out to much any higher and they'd end up getting ich.

I was actually looking for a rental UV as xmas isn't here yet, so can't
treat myself to one.

Tripled the airflow into the tank, got the powerheads blasting with airlines
attached, which the fish love (they're all in the powerhead right now
playing, even woke the sleeping clowns up). Got the pumps on full blast into
the airstone, lots of water surface activity.

I broke down and added the ole faithful aquari-sol, usually safe for
anything. Hardly have to add any to the water.

Feeding good doses of frozen bloodworms, plankton, and beefheart, spoiling
them. Lasts 2 minutes in the tank.

To start, I've gradually increased the tank temp to 82, added 1 tbsp
per 5g salt as prescribed. Change the micron filter daily.


Might want to run a diatomic filter 1x a day too, if you have access to
one...

82 deg F might not be high enough. Make sure to add additional
aeration!!!
