polyfilter pads shouldn't make any difference, they're used for removing fine particles in the water, it's the black carbon pads that strip medications and other impurities out of the water, they should be left out until treatment has finished

naaaaaa, PolyFilter (as in the brand name) It is a chemical filter pad that I use instead of carbon pads.....

I highly suggest soaking his foods in the med, for a week.

That sounds like a good idea. Should i mix up the same volume of med as i did to dose the tank and soak? I don't want to overdose him.

That would be the plan. Try to soak for at least 2 hours. You may have to add garlic for better taste.

Don't ask me why they like it, they just do! That's funny--when I think garlic, I think Italian.
