2015-5-18 underdosed dimetridazole

Just realized I underdosed dimetridazole bc of math error.
151L x 80mg/L=12000mg=12gm
But powder is only 40% dimetridazole therefore need 30gm of powder to get 12gm active ingredient.
So I'm trying again today.

BTW, very difficult to get isometamidium or almiramide.
Ordered, 2-amino-5-nitrothiazol.

Both discus in hospital tank are eating.  The blue discus is a bit darker than normal but otherwise they look well, though still too thin.

Stool sample from blue discus today is clear of cryptobia.  Finished 9 days of dimetridazole 100mg/L dosed daily with 90% water changes. 
pH 4.0
temp 90.
