Also meant to add... IF it is recommended to use antibiotics like Kanaplex... we recommend cutting the dose in half and dose every day rather than the full dose every other day. I'm not sure about using it with other products... (that might be something they think enhances the med... but I think it's just to push more things to sell... I don't think we go out of our way to recommend these products alongside using Kana.)

As for removing chemical filtration, I believe that means removing all carbon inserts as it can interfere with the effectiveness of the meds.

I'm also not sure about possibly the ferts you used affecting her health this way... I don't use them in my tanks so I can't comment on that.
