Hi,
I have a flame angel that I got on Feb. 10th and about a week ago I noticed that he had developed a single cloudy eye. The other eye is normal.
I've read that this can be caused by poor water conditions. I've checked all of my parameters and they're all great except the pH is about 7.9. I'm working on correcting this now. I'm adding Kent's Pro Buffer daily. Everything else is fine though.
I waited about a week because I figured he just hurt himself somehow and now it's getting worse.
What should I do?
Here's my tank info:
46 gallon bowfront. Rena XP3 Canister Filter, Coralife Super Skimmer for up to 65 gallons. Two Maxi-Jet 1200's with Hydor Flo water deflectors. About 50-70 lbs. of live rock. Current USA 36" Power Compacts w/ 1 - Dual Daylight Lamp (10,000K and 6,700K) and 1 - Dual Actinic Lamp (420nm and 460nm).
Tank's Current Inhabitants:
Scarlet Hermit Crabs, turbo snails, nassarius snails
Foxface Rabbitfish (small)
Flame Angel
Blue Devil damselfish
Four Stripe Damselfish
Bicolor Blenny
Serpent Starfish
Percula Clownfish
Any help is much appreciated!
