Hi everyone
I have a hairy mushroom that is definitely splitting, but also seems to be bleaching at the same time. Does this mean its healthy or dying?
Thanks so much
Hi everyone
So I'm starting over after failing my first FOWLR attempt (white spot). I'm going to try corals this time as well. I really want to do this properly, so I want to consult you guys as I go along.
The equipment I have:
160 gal (US) tank
Reef Octopus SuperReef Skimmer (rated at...
Hey there
I know it's hard to watch, but try not to take too many drastic actions. If he's eating, breathing normally and not scratching then I would just keep my water in good condition. Double check your water parameters. What are nitrites at? Are you adding any beneficial bacteria such as...
I agree with hondatech. Sorry, I didn't mean to say that vitamins and supplements will cure the virus, but help the fish through more easily.
I would leave him in your display and keep an eye on water quality. Moving him to another aquarium will probably just stress him out.
With regards to...
I agree with Todd. Your snowflake eel is probably grown resistant, but without treatment, he is probably still carrying the parasite.
I'm not too clued up on eels, but I would remove him do what Todd said with your DT. Treat him in qt and then put him back in. I'm so sorry about your loss, I...
The fact that the tank is so you might actually be the problem. Do lots of water changes and add some bacterial supplement like stability or special blend or both. Keep oxygen levels up!
Soak some nori or food in vitamins and with time he should get better. Let us know of he gets any worse...
Lymphociis and cloudy eyes are both signs of poor water quality. What are your levels at? Do a nice big water change and I would also add some Special Blend or stability if you have some - it won't cure anything, but it'll help with your water quality. Keep us posted!
Hi Michael
How's your Koran doing? I had an Emperor who had similar issues but it died recently... Would like to know if you managed to solve your problems at all.
I broke mine down to white spot and over crowding but still not entirely sure.
Hi guys
I've just had a terrible bout of white spot and I want to start over with my tank. How do I clean a 160gal (us) so that the ich is gone, and when can I put my water, substrate and live rock in the tank to start the cycling process?
Thanks guys!
Hey guys
Todd, so sorry about your angel. Mine seemed to perk up for a day or two but then died very suddenly. After that I started losing a fish a day - horrible to watch.
I took out all the rock and started treating with Paraguard and I haven't had a death in two weeks. I'm gonna start over...
I'm currently dosing with Metranidozle. Its worked well in the past for other ailments, so I"m hoping that it might help. Day two though and no improvement. I'll let you know about it tomorrow. Thanks!
I don't have too much experience - but besides the flukes and other irritants, could your PH...
Hi
Thanks for that. Yes I agree, and that's why I'm going bigger. The Angels never bother each other at all, they're both from a different genus. There is some aggression between the two yellow tangs, which is why I want to remove at least two of them actually. I put them in together when they...
Hi everyone
I have an Emperor Angel going through his transitional period. I've had him for just under a year. I've attached a picture of what he looks like. He hasn't been eating for two days. He swims around and seems very mildly interested in food but doesn't try to taste anything. He is...
