Remove powerhead (no water flow) from QT?

[tc2007]

I have a 20G Long QT with a Bangaii and couple other smaller fish. I also have a long 4" airstone sending plenty of bubbles and breaking the water surface along with a HOB filter. I see the Bangaii struggling to keep up with the flow in such a small tank. The powerhead has no option to make it slow. Should I turn it off or do I risk lower oxygen levels even with the above mentioned settings. My reasoning to turn it off is to let the fish spend less energy fighting the flow.

The HOB filter and airstone should provide enough agitation for sufficient gas exchange at the surface. Just be cautious when dosing meds like Prazipro, which can reduce redox.

Yeah, I am running Prazipro + CP that's why I was hesitating.

^I did PP and CP at one point a couple of weeks ago. Fish seemed drunk and slow, felt so sorry for them. I hope you have better luck with CP than I did.

Yeah, I am using Ick Shield by NLS. They didn't look too good before but now seem to be much more active.

Sweet. If I ever need cp again, it'll be NLS. Good luck!
