Does anyone have experience or knowledge of ammonia burn? I've thankfully never had any experience with it, and although it just doesn't seem at all likely, cause there was no way it was over-ammonia'd on my end, and although it says it usually doesn't show up until 2-3days after the exposure, I really do trust where I got it from, but i haven't found any other issue that fits the symptoms like it. seems its treatable, but I'm just freaked out cause it seems pretty serious, and I've almost never had anything come back from this state, albeit it's always been because of other issues. A fish laying down all day, only moving when touched, when it starts shaking and jerking in place at first. Then it CAN keep itself up and swim a bit but it obviously wants to just go back down and lay on the ground again. It would lay on its side, or however it, but it's been positioned upright but leaning. It was breathing pretty heavy all morning but has been breathing much closer to normal, although when it breathes its open fast/close fast, instead of gently open/close. Except earlier when I was gently lifting it up now&then to check on it, it's been totally motionless other than mouth, gills, and slight tail due to gentle current. can....DO things really recover from this level of problem? Writing that includes these symptoms(as the more serious ones)seem to consider it treatable, but that really doesn't mean much. I haven't medicated yet because I don't want to stress it with a move to a smaller tank(yet). I've done big water changes, added air directly behind it, and it's between 2nfilter intakes(not touching, just close, so it'll have more but still gentle flow, and of the additionally oxygenated air(however slightly). I'd hoped to see some improvement, but nothing yet other than the breathing.

Hi guys, I had a very positive impression from this months meeting, it was my 1st and it was great. It felt good to be around people to share this passion, and now here I am introducing myself (... well, my tank), and hoping to share the joy from the hobby with all of you. Mine is a bow front 30 gallons tank. Is bare bottom and about 6+ month old. I've been introducing corals, fish and inverts in a very controlled way, slowly but constantly until I finally run out of space (i think), and now is time to let them be, see them grow and enjoy the interaction. I do have questions related to how to improve my system but due to time constrains that will probably have to wait till later this fall/winter, when I will really appreciate some feedback and help from those more experienced. Although I have had fish for about 20 years, it has only been about 1 year since i adventure into reefing. This are my baby steps and is exciting to see how much there is for me learn. To the images now... but please excuse the quality as I couldn't do any better with my phone. By the way, any help obtaining better pictures with iphone7 on led lights is greatly appreciated. Thanks
