What ever you do, do not put furan 2 in your tank!!!!! This will kill your bio and crash the tank. Only use it as a dip if you go that route.

I have a ton of those snails and have had no problems. It prob comes down to a water quality issue.

I’ve kept zoas for years but lately I’ve had some difficulty. Some of my colony’s have started to close up and act unhappy. This accounts for about 5% of my overall stock. They seem to be effected by something of a disease or pest nature. I’ve included a photo of one colony. Can anyone identify...

I’m not sure if that is eroded skin or not. As I said before, I thought it was black ich. But after treatment for black ich failed to fix the problem, I was at a lose. I have treated these fish with hypo, copper safe, and prazpro. The first thing I noticed was that they seemed to have ich...

The tang does eat more then algae. I also feed him brine and Misis. I was just saying that I do feed them algae also as a nutritional need. The yellow tang was very fat and very happy. But then he got these bumps. He kept loosing weight even though he voraciously ate. Just before he died he...

This was the yellow tang after he died.

I was moving him from one tank to another. That’s the only reason he was out of the water. And he was only out long enough to snap 3 quick pictures. My source of water is a 6 stage RODI unit. My TDS tests at 3. Currently there are two clown fish and this hippo tang in the QT. And I feed the...

I finally figured out how to post pictures. I had to email them to myself and then re-save them. My QT is 10 gal. All my parameters are spot on. Yes I Qurentine every fish religiously. Yes one Fish got sick in the tank supposedly from a non-Qurentine coral being added. After removing all...

I don’t have a computer. All I have is my phone. The picture is to large. I’m not tech savvy at all. And some of my stuff are videos because I can’t get the fish to hold still. I really don’t know what the problem is but I’ve lost most of my fish. I’ve been reefing since 2003 so I’m well...

im having a hard time posting a photo. Is there a way to get the photo to beth other then posting it here?

Just thought I would give an update. The yellow tang is free of black ich. He's been much happier and swimming all around the QT tank. I've treated the tank a 2nd time to insure the life cycle is disrupted. After that treatment is over I will do a 2nd large water change and then watch him for...

The tang is all by himself in the QT. I'll treat the tank with prazipro. It just came in the mail today.

Yeah I hated to net him, but I was not having any luck in getting a photo that showed the disease. I guess I'm just not good at photography. Question, if I treat him with a formalin bath, and then return him to the QT, how do I insure it's eradicated if the tank is not treated?

Perfect! Thanks for the info! I've never even heard of black ich. He's acting fine but as you can see, he's pretty covered. Hope he can hold out till I can get the order in. In the mean time I will start bringing him out of hypo. Thanks again!

hey guys, I've had this tang for about 3 months. He's been in hypo for about two months and I've ran copper on him. I'm well practiced in dealing with icy and velvet, but this is something different that I've never come across. If anyone can help me figure out what's going on and tell me how to...

Is there anything scientific to back up the claim that saltwater fish can not get freshwater ICH? My fish is now dieing, but slowly. As I am raising the salinity the white bumps are going away.

I know it looks like ICH, but they have been in hypo for 24 days now. It does not go away and come back, it looks the same day to day. Are there other things that look like ICH?
