Hello--
I received my Wonder Shell (non-medicated) in the mail. Is it safe to place it in the tank while using Triple Sulfa, or should I wait until the treatment is through?
Also, I started the 2nd round of Triple Sulfa yesterday afternoon. No more than 3 hours later, I realized I'd forgotten to remove the carbon filters. I then removed them immediately. For those 2-3 hours, could the first dose of Triple Sulfa have been too depleted?
Also, b/c they were exposed to the Triple Sulfa for 2-3 hours, are those filters to be tossed now? (They're new, in case that makes a difference...)
Thanks for reading,
Nancy

Sorry for the slow response!  Definitely use the Regular Wonder Shell as it will improve fish osmoregulation. The Triple Sulfa likely would not harm the filter, however the carbon likely nullified much of the first dose, so an extra dose should be added to the regimen Carl |

Hi Carl, when you say extra dose, do you mean to add in an extra day of med, or just add extra med anytime (or ASAP?) during this second round? Just did a 25% change last night (mid-way through w/the Triple Sulfa; going to do Methylene Blue in the next day or two). Also, added one Giant non-medicated Wonder Shell. It seems like the water is more clear already. Fish are perking up a bit; both now swimming to other side of the tank again. :-)
