well, I have a little bit of good news My clown trigger was out some today he even ate a litte. but my flame angel passed away. The clown trigger is still a little swollen, so I will go pick up some melafix today!:nervous:

what should I do now? should I place some "saltwater" back into the tank, damn I really messed up. upon futher examination I think the clown trigger is bloated too, I have a bad feeling about all of this! :help: :help: :mad: :mad: :help:

like I said, I started hypo last night and I have brought down the salinity from 1.019 to 1.014 over about 24 hrs. my clown trigger is acting strange(not eating and staying put between some rock breathing heavy) my flame angel isn't eating either and he looks a little bloated, puffed up or...

right now I have it down to about 1.016-17 from 1.019-20 over last night, I was going to take it down to 1.012-13 today and to 1.009-10 tomarrow but my clown trigger is very stressed, should I slow down? thanks guys:confused: :help:

hypo should be - 1.009 but what happens if you keep it at 1.012, I have read many site's that say just to get it to 1.013 or lower, what happens if the salinity goes down to 1.008 or 1.007 will that kill the fish? I would love some help!

started hypo last night and this morning all was lookig good except for my clown trigger, damn! he is breathing very very heavy and he has wedged himself between some rocks. I did the hypo just like it said to.

by the way all I have is a cheap hydrometer

fish are too aggresive i have a clown trigger and a niger trigger that are pretty big plus a blue tang and flame angel, they wouldn't be happy in a 10 or 2o gallon qt

I thinkI will go to the store and get a buck for at least have of my live rock and do the hypo like beth said, thanks beth I will keep you updated! is that ok? to leave some LR in the tank for the fish?

like what? I have tried ick attack and malchite green, no luck!! I think I am going to start hypo even with my live rock, I heard the bacteria will live but any inverts will die, I am willing to risk that.

I don't want any inverts, I just want the benificial effects of the live rock!

huh?

once copper has been placed into a tank can it be romoved? what if you only placed it in the tank once at a low doce? and will it kill all your bio filter? thx!

and what about using copper with hypo? I have a lot of exspensive fish in this tank, I need help. I have a clown trigger flame angel, niger trigger, and a large blue tang. they all get along pretty well b/c the niger is pretty large and keeps the clown trigger from being aggresive. I guess I...

I my LFS said I should use organicure, its 1.25 copper and 17% formaldehyde and after I am done I could use a poly filter to remove the meds, Does that sound crazy? I only have about 50 bucks in the live rock, I got it from someone who change into a smaller tank for 1 dollar a pound. I would...

well then what should I do? I already tried ick attack and malchite green with no luck. I am pretty upset about all of this, My LFS said I should use organicure but it has 1.25 % copper and 17% formaldehyde. I don't really care if my live rock get's messed up, I just want to kill the ick.

too late for that, already tried ich attack and malchite green with no luck

I was wondering if I could treat a tank with copper that has live rock, I don't ever want to have corals in this tank. The "live" rock doesn't have anything growing on it anyways, all it has is the benificial bacteria and some coraline algae. Any help would be appreciated, the ick I have is...
