	Water Changes Post Meds
SuperMummy! Mega Fish Posts: 1207 Kudos: 915 Votes: 30 Registered: 03-Jan-2003	How soon after dosing the last lot of whitespot treatment can I do water changes? Last dose was on Sunday lunchtime (cysts dropped off Saturday night/Sunday morning, so hopefully the swarmers have been swimming and dying by now) the temperature has been at 87F - have dropped it about 2-3F since this morning. Thing is a couple of the neons look like they are suffering and might cork it soon. When can I start to do water changes and add carbon etc if the temperature is kept high..? x

Some like to syphon the top layer of gravel after treatment. A 35% water change after gravel syphoning is normal and carbon is optional. --garyroland.
