    Sick Blonde Naso

    Weirdly the snails and crabs are still alive. I never heard of velvet but the pictures I googled sure look like it... Here is pic of naso before he died. If it was velvet is there anything different that I need to do or would 8 weeks fish free cure that? Black spots were not bumpy on puffer.

    Sick Blonde Naso

    Yes to live rock... otherwise a couple turbo snails not sure if they are still alive. The last addition was a new file fish added early January. Quarantined 2 weeks and was doing great. Dog Face Puffer was sick for awhile. He stopped eating around Nov and was very lethargic. He did this once...

    Sick Blonde Naso

    OMG! I am devastated... My wife just does not understand. To her it is all about how much money I have lost. Not anything about our beloved pets. I have not slept for two nights. I can't eat and I can barely function at work. I lost the last one this morning, and the Blonde died in quarantine...

    Sick Blonde Naso

    There is more going on here... Now this morning two more sick fish. My clown and my file fish look like their fins are deteriorating. Clown almost looks like strings are coming off of top and bottom fins. I will try to get a picture as soon as they are in a good spot. I did do the water change...

    Sick Blonde Naso

    No offense taken... I really value all of your advice and experience. Can you please recommend what would be a great variety for a 90 gallon. Would love to go larger but limited at this time. Thanks again!

    Sick Blonde Naso

    Beth, I have done a formalin bath 20 drops per gallon for 45 mins every other day for 3 treatments. I do have a cycled quarantine. Mandy, it is a 90 gallon and the Naso has been in there since I got him in June of 2014. The yellow tangs were added a couple months later. I have noticed that...

    Sick Blonde Naso

    Appreciate any Help! I have recently lost my dogface puffer. Soon after my Blonde Naso looked like he had black ick. I started formalin baths and I am now on day seven after 3 treatments but it does not seem to be helping. I think I may have mis diagnosed this. I have included this video and I...

    Blindness and Diarreah

    I will try to get a picture when I get home… the other fish 2 clowns and a Moorish Idol just have loose stools- normally they have long stringy poop and lately it comes out in a cloud of little pieces. I do feed them flakes, Mysis, krill, frozen shrimp, silversides, and algae sheets. I do have...

    Blindness and Diarreah

    Correct I did do Hyposalinity and saw symptoms still at end of week two so did a total of 5 weeks and then I took 7 days to raise salinity back up. 50 gallon quarantine. So do you think Maracyn 2 is my best bet? Could Maracyn also help the eye problem? Thanks for everyone’s help again!

    Blindness and Diarreah

    I moved my fish to quarantine due to an ick problem. I finally have the salinity raised and I have been noticing all four fish have diarreah. Also my puffer looks like he has cataract. He cannot see the food when I put in in and his eyes have a green-ish like coating. If I need to treat would...

    Scared Hippo Tang

    I had an Emporer Angel that killed many fish. He tormented my hippo tang into a hole and he barely eats or comes out. I finally got rid of the Emporer and the Hippo still is so skiddish 2 weeks later and I still can't get him to eat. He is getting so skinny and not looking good. I tried moving...

Skimmer on the outside pulling from the sump and returning to sump. As far as water movement I just have one power jet in addition to the...

    Flashing Hippo Tang

    Purchased it as an established system jan 2012. It has about 2-4 inches of crushed coral. It is in my great room with 18 ft of windows on one wall so it gets real warm in the afternoon. I have had the air conditioning running for a couple weeks. As far as filter I have a 30 gallon sump. I have...
