    Gill disease i think?

    My coral beauty has redness around its gills. In its current condition it will probably be dead within the hour. I've had no success in reviving a dieing fish. I've given it a fresh water dip for about 3 minutes and moved it to my refugium. I'm treating it with instant ocean lifeguard. Help!!!

    Sailfin tang

    I've noticed these black markings on my tang. I've recently added some fish to my DT and am not sure if it's stress that brought these markings. I'm not sure how serious this is but it seems to be eating just fine and I have not noticed it rubbing on sand or rocks.

    Is it the placement of my koralia's or just not enough flow?

    What's wrong with my flow? I have 2 hydor koralia 1400 and a mag 9 return. I have hard and soft corals. The koralias are on a controller and they turn on at the same time for 15 seconds. Is it the placement of my koralia's or just not enough flow?
