I think it might be gill disease. If the fish makes it through the night, I will do a water change and dose myacin 2. Unless I find out that melafix treats gill disease.

already have. She hasn't been answering in that forum for a while. I have also been getting answers out of beth for over 4 years. thanks

opps, I began treatment with melafix. I am two days into treatment and the puffer is getting worse. Should I do a water change and treat with maracyn? or can I just stop dosing melafix and dose maracyn?

I put back in 2 MJ 1200's and they seem to be moving a lot of water. I am going to add a 3rd mj1200 today. I will be purchasing some larger powerheads today to get more movement. I have an established 40g qt ready with LR, an aqua C remora skimmer and an HOB skimmer. Beth, do you still think it...

his fin is not in his gill. I have seen him do that before. He appears to have closed his gill himself. The fish just opened it again. I would assume the fish is having a problem with that gill.

I just noticed that one of his gills is completely closed. I don't know if it has been this way the entire time or just occurred. He doesn't appear to be breathing out of this one gill at all. His other gill is working overtime. What would cause this and how do I treat it?

I use RO/DI and it drips into a 55g container. I drop a mj1200 in the container and drop salt in and let it mix for 24 hours. My last PH test the other day was 8.0

I did a a 25% WC (50g) and added a bottle am amquel. My tank reading are: PH: 8.0 Ammonia: 0.0 Nitrite: 10ppm nitrate: 10ppm If I were to assume that the ammonia burned the puffers gills, how long does it take to heal? what about parasites? could this possibly be a parasite?

I just tested for ammonia and it came back at .25 I assume this is the problem? The test kit is a bit old and I will purchase another one tomorrow and retest. None of my other fish are showing any signs of stress. Ammonia is not usually a problem, but a friend took care of my tank last week and...

no change after the mj 1200

I put in a MJ1200 near the top of the tank to create some water movement.

I have a bubble king supermarine 200. All of these fish have been in the tank well over a year and there haven't been any o2 problems.

I noticed today when swimming that the fish appears to be rapidly using all of his fins to swim. In the past, the fish would just use his top and bottom fin to swim (and would move his fins with a slow movement)

He has been fine until the other day when I noticed he was not getting up from the sandbed when I walked in the room. Today I noticed him breathing heavily. I began to feed him and he was eating and then all of a sudden he dropped to the sandbed and just sat there breathing heavily. After a...

My tanks salinity is at .008 per my refractameter. I even double checked with fresh clean RODI water to make sure the line came back to zero. Here is the amazing part, my hermit crabs are living. I only have 2 left, but they have lived well over a week in near hypo .010 and today I took it...

There is another reefer in the my area who is also having problems with his tanks. Are you sure HD sells test kits for chloramines? The article I linked to said the test kit that is needed it about $60. I assume it was chloramines because I am left with no other cause for the wipe-out.

Here is an article on the subject by Randy Holmes farley: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/20...ture/index.php I was refered to this: http://www.**************.com/RO/DI-...duct_info.html and this is what I purchased: CARBON BLOCK CHLORAMINE PACKAGE...

GE, but it doesn't matter because the chloramines can pass through the RO membrain. The key is in the pre filters.
