does CHEMI PURE cause HLLE

[pulpol]

does chemi pure have activated carbon? does it cause HLLE or hole in the head disease?

Some suspect carbon can contribute but I have some doubts about that. My thought is anything than weakens the fish can contribute to the condition.

i started using chemi pure a week ago and noticed some of my tangs starting to have HLLE, anyway i deicded to take them out since am really positive that chemi pure caused it. i've been feeding them foods with selcon and vita chem 3 times a day for 2 weeks now, is there anything else i can do to treat it?

i've had tangs with chemi pure, and never had any problems whatsoever.

is your tank grounded.

 

[pulpol]

i dont think so, is it bad that it's not?

 

[andrewsmart]

look this up stray voltage is often suggested as a cause of HLLE.

mine is not grounded but if i got HLLE i would look into it.

TBH i will be looking at this anyway.

hmmm... it's kinda weird cause they've been healthy until a week ago when they started having HLLE... i dont really know right now on what really caused it, i guess i'll just treat them with metro
