I visited Tropical Exotics yesterday and picked up a nice Wyoming White Clownfish. They had some nice tangs and triggers. Nice pink tail and blue throat. The coral tanks looked to still be cycling. Lots of fresh water and supplies available. They even had jelly fish. Shane is a good guy and always willing to help.

Prescription only?

You need to treat the whole tank or remove them all and QT them. You need the parasite to die off without a host to attach to. You can still feed your corals. QT is basically water, pvc pipes for hiding, filter and powerhead. You can't cycle it that quickly so you have to do water changes every 3-4 days. Not a fun experience.

I just went through this and pulled all my fish from the display and treated them with copper in a QT tank and went fishless for over 76 days. Velvet usually kills things quickly. Polylab is supposed to make something you can treat in the tank, but I did not go that route. Wrasses have a slime coat, so they do not normally show up with spots. I would treat before adding any more fish or they will get it as well.

Sounds like nitrates are being consumed and raising alk

I have the opposite issue but tons of growth and coralline. Stays steady and slowly drops. Been increasing my dosing. Is this a new tank that was moved from an old tank? Wonder if they are still settling in and not consuming as much alk. Calcium and Mag numbers good?

I have some in Haymarket

Tropical Exotics just opened in Dale city. They QT their fish

LA!!!????

This is very helpful

Glad it worked

Normally its the power supply

Did you try another power supply?

What time are the volunteers needed?
