QuestionI have an 800 gal pond with a Savio Excellence Pump and biological filter. One of my 7" comets has a dime sized ulcer. I bought Fuba Fix but it does not say how often to use it. After putting it in, I realized it could damage my biological filter. How often should I use the Fuba fix and what do I do about the biological filter?
AnswerUse the recommended amount for an 800 gallon pond. I don't remember the concentrations of the active ingredients off the top of my head, so I can't help you determine the size of one dose. I would say to use one dose once every 4 days for 2 weeks (3 doses). Then perform a 30% water change and dose one more time. Wait at least two weeks to dose again.
The most important thing is to keep ammonia and other nitrogen based compounds at a minimum. I can understand, because of this fact, how wary you are of using the product. It is personally my favorite anti-bacterial for ulcers. You could even consider using a contact-applied wound sealant if it gets worse.
