I think it takes about 3 weeks. I'll scoop some sand, and I bought a bucket of IO and prime, so I can do lots of water changes for a couple of weeks

Laurie, the fish look ok, I think it's more the O2 levels are a bit low. I'll do a 80% water change today and see how they look. Not sure it's velvet still, and so far the 2 remaining fish in the display look fine. No idea how I'm going to catch them

Damn Brad... this really sux.
Hope you can keep this under control now.

Mad props to Christy for giving you a hand...

if anyone has chaeto, I think that would help.
I am sure that there would be bacteria hanging out on that.
I have used that a few times to help start a tank.
sorry to hear of your problems.
good luck

Good idea Neal. I've got a bunch in another tank. I'll add that today.
