Posted	What to do?
19-09-2006 12:18 by Kell	Ive treat my tank last week with sera omnipur, for what I thought was bacterial infection. I waterchanged on saturday and have been filtering over carbon since then. Now I need to treat for whitespot and want to know if I should waterchange beforehand, just to be sure all previous meds are removed. Btw I know to take out carbon before more treatments.

19-09-2006 12:22 by Malawimad	Kell, what i've done in the past with whitespot is increase the temp by a couple of degrees so the white spots falls from the fish to the base of the tank, then after 12 hours of increased temp i would treat, I dont think whitespot can be treated while its still on the fish...correct me if i'm wrong. But using this method i've never had problems getting shut of it, so to answer your question, i would increase temp, leave 12 hours then treat, then i'd leave another day and water change! thats just my opinion anyway, and its always worked!
19-09-2006 12:54 by Kell	Thats what i will try then, my temp is at 28c, whats the highest I can raise it to.
19-09-2006 12:56 by Malawimad	I would go to 30-31 kell, this method was taught to me by my grandad in the old days when chemicals we're poor, ever since i tried it the method has never failed me, See how it goes kell, post ya progress !
