melafix

[monkdaily]

so my male Lyretail Anthias has a mild case of pop eye and fin rot. well today i picked up some melafix the liquid kind and i dosed my tank. and my skimmer went completely nutttttts. bubbles pouring out the hole in the collecton cup, so many micro bubbles in the tank it looks like a cloud. is this normal should i not run the skimmer for a week or what.

Yes it is normal and I leave my skimmer running but I shut off the air hose going to it.
Most people will say don't put any meds in DT.

Can you describe the "fin rot" or post a picture of it? Do you see blood in the fins? Melafix always makes the skimmer go nuts. Do you have a quarantine tank? Can you please post your exact water parameters for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, and sg? Is this fish new?

well it died last night i had it just over 3 months. then after feeding last night i didnt see it. so after a bit i took a flashlight to the tank and saw it dead. and some crazy tenticals creeping from under a rock. and it looked so crazy i just wanted to flush it so no pic. but it was like a rats nest of yarn or fishing line. iam thinking it was what took the fish down. and the other fish are happy as a clam

anyway
