AQUACO

Not that Im lazy, but if you an forward that info to me......I'll see what I can do.. For my information... what is a good price to pay for about 50 pounds of Calcium?

Do who ever you ordered from have it in stock.... I actually am in need of one for my new grow out tank. My suppliers are back-ordered

LOL... I found some..........In Europe!! They Ship too http://www.bioaquatek.com/50-balling-salts

LOL, you tell me... How are the fellas look

Bubble Magus... I have 12 different aquarims that I use the Balling method on. The oldest doser of the 12 is 2.5 years.... They all have worked flawlessly. The WAY more exspensive Profilux is a great unit as well. I have no experience with SWC dosers but.... For an amazing Doser... The Coral Shop "Tower Profi" and "Flexdrive Quadra" The BRS work great on a controller...as well as the Tunze stand alones..

AquaCo Cyphastrea......I could have retired on that coral!!!!! I have a Blood Red Cyphastrea decadia....Im holding just for you....

ok, if it is a serious infection. Tomorrow will most likely be the day you will see change. It could be as minor as a simple bacterial infection. Where dips in freshwater as discussed can help.. Once upon a time I witnessed a few cures of simple fungal infections with using (Pimafix/Melafix combined) in a freshwater dip. I am routing for you and the clowns! If you get a change snap a close up pic...

Update?

Good advice, Match the PH of the Fresh Water Dip to Your Aquarium Please..... My tap water is 7.0, my aquariums are 8.4. Fresh water dips are incredibly effective against certain Flukes and external Flatworms. 5 minutes, they get very lethargic and respire heavily. I use dechlorinated Tap water buffered to 8.2, floated in the tank in a heavy duty gallon ziplock. Why tap water? I was taught by a very smart man a long time ago. By the way, do you know if the clowns are captive or wild caught? I still have a gut feeling it is Brook. I know Sean from Fins and Feathers has put alot of time into prevenitive treatments as well as identifying ailments.... maybe he can chime in.

Lymph, maybe..... Brook or Velvet.... i dont want to be the one to bear the bad news...

Lymphocystis typically is seen on the fins on saltwater fish although it is not uncommon to see growths on the skin as well. However the infection tends to start on the fins. There are arguments by many that there no cure for Lymph. I have never cured it. I have been able to control the growths by trimming the fins using iodine on the fin after the "surgery". I am not an expert on identifying illness. In fact many illnesses in regards to fish are misdiagnosed. Cultures and scrapings under a microscope (and an educated knowledge base) is the only way to truly diagnose. Ick, well thats an easy one. IMHO I dont think it is Lymph... I believe it is protazoal... Is there a coating or film on the fish. Bite Marks? Are they scratching, breathing heavy? Are they Eating? Are they wild caught or captive raised. Clownfish are very prone to being infected with "Clownfish Disease" or Brooklynella . At the onset fish may scrap up against objects, rapid respiration develops, and fish often gasp for air at the surface as the gills become clogged with mucus. Fish become lethargic, refuse to eat, and colors fade, but the most noticeable difference that sets Brooklynella apart from Oodinium is the heavy amount of slime that is produced. As the disease progresses a thick whitish mucus covers the body, usually starting at the head and spreading outward, skin lesions appear, and it is not uncommon for signs of secondary bacterial infections to arise. If it is the store should be called and pics sent..... Nasty affliction.....

Did it at least melt the ice on your drive way?

I remember hearing about this... Was it the Bio-Assay Formula? I know the "Crystal Sea" has some sort of de-chlorinator in the mix. I can see why that would cause an issue in a reef aquarium,,,,,used it to melt ice on your driveway....Lol that the 2nd time you made me spit soda today...lol

Had that covered and then some.... but once switching to Reef Crystal and Breaking the Budget the diatoms went away. Id like to give it another try sometime. Easy to get get and a local supply too!

Love it.... However, I remember having a bit of diatom algea while using it...anyone else experience this..
