maracyn-two

[nurjrk]

Hey, I bought a six-line about 1 1/2 weeks ago. The other day I noticed what looks to be like the start of a fungus on his left side by his tail fin. He has been in a 10 gal. QT since his purchase. All tank params. are within normal limits. He is acting normal, and eating great. I am feeding Prime Reef and Mysis Shrimp with garlic xtreme 2 time a day. I started to dose with maracyn-two (today is day 3). I tried to attach a picture but it is too big on my smallest setting on my camera. It (the spot of fungus) looks the same, if not just a little bit bigger. Should I continue with my treatment? Should I also do hypo? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Can you provide more details about exactly what you are seeing. And, if you can, post a picture.

Beth, I tried to post a pic. but when I take it on the lowest setting it is still too big, and I don't know how to make it fit. What I am seeing is an area about the size of an eraser head that has lost its scales and looks a little bit like a fungus.
Thanks,
Jeff

Am I at least on the right track with using the maracyn-two? If it is a fungus how long should it take to clear up? The box says to use for only 5 days.
Thanks,
Jeff

Yes, I do think that Maracyn Two would be a good choice. I'll post up for Terry to take notice of your thread too.
