Anyone know what a white fungus looking stuff on a clown trigger's fins would be. It is not ick. One eye looks a little glassy as well. If so what and how do I treat it? I also have a V lion that is now getting a large lateral line after a 2 week spike in nitrates. (Which I got back under control after a 60% water change). How do I get the lateral line to heal and go away?
Any help would be appreciated!!!

Welcome to the boards!! The issues sound water quality related. Get the water quality under control. Add vitamins to their food. What are the actual readings? What do you feed them?

I am running the tank NOW... At
25ppm NO3
0 Ammonia
8.2 PH
They eat Silver Sides, Squid, PE Myisis, Formula 1 & 2, Krill.
It did hit 100 PPM for about 3 weeks (we were out of the country and someone was watching my tank that obviously didnt know what they were doing.)

Is it on the edge of the fins which it probably is. It is very common with juvi CT. If it is it's Lymphosites which there is no cure per se. What you can do as others said is provide good water quality. You can also remove the fish and remove the Lymph. by scraping it off, but only do so if you know what your dealing with. Pics would help greatly. Tim
