    Unhappy Red Water in my tank!!!HELP!

    I have a 29 gal. biocube with seahorses. I treated my tank three days ago for tail rot and still lost one seahorse. Yesterday I did a 25% water change b/c my water turned green from the medicine and now its red/pink in color. Even with a water change, its still red. Does anyone have any advice what to do next?

    I would recommend running some carbon after doing another 25% water change.

    Hello,
    Carbon can be full in 24 hours if the tank has high levels of compounds that can be adsorbed.
