Metal Halides will heat the tank even more. It sounds like you will definately need the chiller. I think you should purchase the chiller before the halides, get the temperature stable, maybe add a few soft corals slowly, and then upgrade to the lights later. It sounds like the chiller is more...

haha, I have a bicolor named Benny also! I got him on easter and call him Benny the Easter Blenny

Sorry, I dont know what it is but I suggest posting this in the disease and treatment forum where beth or lion craz can help you.

What are your water parameters? I know that my bubble started to not inflate much when I had nitrates at about 20. Also, is the bubble in a high flow area? What type of lights do you have and where is the bubble placed in the tank? Do you feed it?

Do you have a QT set up? Im not sure of the treatment for the lymphocytosis, but I know that the best treament for ick is hyposalinity. Do you have a refractometer? Your pic is interesting because the smaller white spots look a bit like ick but the larger white mass near the pectoral fin looks...

pH is good at 8.2 kH is 7 nitrates are about 20 unfortunately ammonia 0 nitrites 0 ...I think the nitrates might be high because this is an uncycled QT tank. I have a phosban reactor on the tank with carbon, but the carbon needs to be changed. However, I decided not to change the carbon because...

Lion, how quickly does fin rot progress? I am wondering if I have a week to get my other two healthy fish out of QT before starting the maracyn treatment or if I should just start treatment immediately?

No, I dont have another tank unfortunately. I am hoping I can get the salinity up in the QT quickly and then I will remove the healthy fish and treat Maximus with maracyn.

Thanks for the help ryan. Lion, do you second this opinion to only treat the sick clown starting in about a week (as soon as I can get the others out?)

He acts pretty normal, seems to be eating okay too. I took some pics but I am not able to upload them as my laptop is dead, my dad has the charger in LA, and this desktop does not have the software.

Yeah, thats what I am worried about. Any idea how quickly fin rot moves? Do you think I have a week to get the salinity up and get the other fish out of QT and then treat with maracyn?

Lion How fast will the fin rot eat away at the fin? I don't think the other clown and bicolor would be ready for the new tank for at least a week as the salinity of the QT is at about 1.015...Also, the tank which they will be added intohas never had any fish in it before and I am a bit concerned...

Okay, so I bought some Maracyn to treat the fish with. My new question is this.... Should I treat all three fish which are in the Qt of should take out the bicolor and the healthy clown and only have the fin-rot clown in for the treatment?

Okay, so I went to feed the clown some food and I noticed the female picking on him some more. His dorsal fin looks just aweful. It is definately more than just frayed. He tries to put it up when he swims, but there isnt much left. There are no whitish spots visible so i dont think it is...

Okay, so long story short, my 2 clowns and a bicolor blenny were quarantined for what I thought was ich, but later determined was brook. All 3 had formaldehyde baths (3 of them) a few weeks ago. They are still in the quarantine tank and I am getting ready to put them back into the display but...

Yeah, YourReef is on Cirby...I didn't realize they raised the price to $12.50.... I bought a lot of frags from them when they first opened up and they were 25% off so each frag was only $7.50 which was so great!

Hey guys... I used to go to Capitol aquairum, but I really don't like it there....I have had several bad experiences with rude employees and I hate how you have to hunt someone down for an hour to get any help. Have any of you been to Your Reef in Rocklin? It is the absolute best in the area I...

lkb... I also set up a ten gallon QT tank in a hurry to treat my 2 clowns and bicolor blenny. Since I did not have a QT tank set up already, I went out and bought a 10 gallon tank, a cheapo light fixture, a hang on bio wheel, a powerhead, an airstone and pump, and a really good heater. If you...

I live in sac! What are you looking for? I don't have too much but I am still interested!

Well, you will need really good water quality of course so if you dont already have one, you need to get a test kit to test for ammonia, nitrite, nitrates, etc. I also recommend getting a refractometer for measuring the salinity if you dont already have one because they are much more accurate...
