Oh, I forgot to mention that I have a 55 gallon tank. I'm not sure how to judge how much water I have taken out to know how much salt to put back in? Is there an easy formula to figure this out or do I have to guess at it?
I may be able to freeze some water in bags if I can make them flat so I will try and buy some freezer bags and try that. just thought of... I do have some Ice packs for lunches? Maybe I could use those through out the weekend. Also I did not choose the Mollie but my husband bought it for me as a surprise... he wanted to get me a fish since he knew I liked them. I can't rehome him sick like this. All I have is a gallon tank with air stone but no heater... don't need one in this heat. I could put it in there but that is the best I can do for him. Thanks!
