Starting again...

Well I have put 13 Tablespoons of rock salt in the tank (50 Litre tank),
turned the heater up to max, and will leave it a few days, partial water
change to reduce the salt level, turn the temp back down to normal, and
start introducing some new fish, see how it goes...

It's been a week since the last of my fish died, I think I have got over
the shock :-)

Anyway, I now need to start things again. Visted a local shop today,
and asked what I needed todo to ensure whatever killed all my other
fish, will not kill any more. He agreed, that what killed them, was a
parasite infestation, rather than a fungus infection. He also said,
that because my tank has now been empty of fish for the last week that
any parasite would have died, as there was no host fish to breed on.
(this sounds plausable)


Wanted to ask what the general opinion here was. Basically it's has the
last of the infected fish, but it otherwise clean water, new sand, but
existing filter. The guy at the shop suggest "chucking" some protozin
in, half a bottle, and leaving it 1 few days, just to be sure!!

Does any of this sound like good advice? (the last bit was what worried
me...).

I don't want to drain the tank, disinfect the filter and pump, and bake
the sand as previously suggested, unless everyone thinks it's absoltuly
essential.

Thanks.
