I have over 370 gallons of freshwater tanks and they all went through being without electricity for over 4 days pretty good except for my 100 gallon tank... It is loaded with large Rainbows, clown loaches and many other smaller fish... A large Rainbow had died during the power outage and got caught under the air curtain where I could not see it in the black out tank, I then lost about 10 more large Rainbows and dipped out quickly at they came to the top... Of course, the quality of the water suffered greatly with only a battery operated air pump, even though I was changing water out of the tank during the outage... Shortly after we got our electricity back I started seeing the "Blue-Green Algae" on some of the Cabomba and other tall plants and now is spreading throughout the tank, the tank is heavily planted... My question is, just how many of the packets of Maracyn do I use in the 100 gallon tank??? You say 2.5, that's more than the one pack per 10 gallons, is it not??? And if I'm reading right, you only say to put the Maracyn in on day 1,2,4, and double dose on day 8, is this correct???? Thank you for a quick response so I can get started and I will need to order more Maracyn if this is the case....
