Beth,
it looks as if he is keeping a well-maintained 75 gallon with plenty of live rock:

He did say that he does not have a grounding probe, but he is going out to get one ASAP.
Doesn't it look like the beginning stages of HLLE to you, as well?

I dont have a grounding probe yet and he is in 75 with 100 pounds of rock.
I thought the melafix was a good thing to get but after reading some info i dont know if i should use it or not, what do you think?

 

[lion_crazz]

MelaFix will do nothing for HLLE. The only things you need are a grounding probe and a diet full of vitamins (specifically vitamin C).

 

[nitro dave]

ok, so I should not put it in my tank then, thanks for the info.

Yes, it does look like that may be the start of HLLE. The grounding probe should be installed in tank, as well as sump, and refugium [if you have these]. Install into a grounded socket, obviously.

 

[nitro dave]

ok thanks, I will try and get a probe asap.

your tang looks good to me

 

[nitro dave]

well, I orderd a grounding probe and a refractometer today, they should be here by monday I hope.

I would agree with loin. Garlic, and vite. C. Soak the food in it. I do garlic one day and C the next.

One thing that I forgot to tell you was that my pump on my protein skimmer burnt up about three weeks ago and I cant find one. Every time I try and order one it is out of stock its the pump for the turboflotor 1000 multi its the ocean runner 2700. Anyone know where I can get one of these and could this be why I am starting to have hlle?

also I think I am now seeing this on my coral beauty, I have had these fish for a good while now mybe the tank is starting to get to small for them and they are getting stressed
