Hi, I recently added a couple chromis to my nano tank and they sadly passed away very quickly. I cant imagine it was due to water quality or acclimation. Took a picture of one of the chromis and seemed to have black spots on the face. No idea where this disease could have come from. My clownfish...
Hello Everyone! I wish I had a more exciting discussion topic for my first post on R2R but we deal with the hand we are dealt. I recently decided to get back into the hobby after being out of it for almost 10 years (tragic story there). Either way, I decided I wanted to do it 100% the right way...
First post! Please be gentle.
I've been running my tank for several months now and it's doing fantastically, but I recently got some sort of parasite.
Although I have a green machine UV light installed, I still picked something up.
I've treated where I can without completely removing all fish...
May be, but not sure?? Need help to confirm it!
An observation on my aquarium , I had a yellow tang with lymphocystis, and I notice the some white spots like ick on my blue tang, they were visiting the lysmata shrimps for a clean up very frequently.
After dealing with an ick, velvet or what...
In order to try and decide why some think there is a high percentage of disease/parasites now as compared to years past - I decided to check with several LFS and a couple large shippers - If you own an LFS - or have data concerning what copper (if any) your LFS (or wholesaler uses) Please...
I would like to hear from people who 'Quarantine' their fish - not from those who do not use this method. This is not designed to determine what percent of people use QT methods - but rather those who do - what percentage have had a failure....
Lets discuss the reasons why it is 'great' -...
Hi everyone
I added some new fish to my aquarium 11 days ago, all healthy and eating. They had been in quarantine in an existing tank at my LFS for 6 weeks (no new fish added) was one of their display tanks and not using UV. I am setting up a new tank and I didn't have a quarantine tank large...
Hey everyone, I just purchased a Watanabei angel and just after 24 hours (added her yeaterday morning to the QT/Hospital tank) her eye looks like this right now, it was perfectly normal yesterday, this happened so quickly... I'm not currently dosing any medication at all in the the QT..
I was...

i started up a second tank and put all of my zoa frags in there, added a couple fish. A few weeks later I added another fish and within a few days everything came down with what I believe was velvet and I wasn’t able to save them sadly. I’ve just been running the tank with the zoa frags in it...
Please forgive me if this should be under disease treatment instead but I posted here since I’m treating tonight and need help ASAP. I have a DT that’s 65g and was a mixed reef tank. I converted it to fowlr about three months ago. I added a porcupine puffer that came from a local reefer that was...
There is a lot of discussion in various threads about QT vs CI management. Please take this poll - you may choose as many choices as you like. Feel free to discuss in the comments....
Hi All from across the pond,
I had a rather severe outbreak of ich/velvet which wiped 80% of my fish, the rest are currently in QT being treated with copper and are all doing really well thankfully.
This takes me onto the fallow period, the norm is 72 days as noted by 98% of the reefing...
Hey guys, Today I was going through a petco near me for new filters and I was just walking around to see what they have. They had herbtana which I used in the past for fw ich, but I read it and it claims that it can kill velvet. To say I was skeptical would be kind of an understatement. Has...
Hi Everyone,
I need some help planning my new QT and/or TTM method for fish in my tank.
First off let me give you the bad new, heart breaking news.... I recently lost almost all of my fish to Velvet as of yesterday (PBT, Regal Angel, Potters Angel, Isosceles Wrasse, 2x Yellow Wrasse, and Royal...
I woke up this morning and checked on my two tangs in QT. I am dosing Copper Power twice daily so besides just generally enjoying the fish, I needed to give them their 1.2 ml dose of Copper Power. I was surprised to see that both tangs (much more so on the Kole) were covered in white specks...

Protocol: 10 gallon hospital
Filter sponge from DT sump with air pump.
Heater, no lights
Water from DT to start
Place fish in aerated freshwater heated rodi for up to 5 min.

Hi Reef2Reef, I've been in a bit of a knotty situation ... I've had a young springer's damselfish in the quarantine for almost 70 days now, but I'm not sure if I should transfer this fish to my display.
At first I had this damselfish and two neon gobies together, all juvenile. The two neon...
my last tank regrettably was shut down and partly filled with water for longer than I’d like to admit. I recently cleaned it out (tons of algae and such)
My question is. The live rock that came from that tank (still wet). Is it safe to put into a new tank? I know I need to clean it and...
So I thought my flame angel had velvet after I added him to my tank. Now after 12 hours and a freshwater dip he has this at the end of his fins. Is it still velvet and what should I do now I have copper treatment and food supplemented with garlic and a liquid to help with slime coat. Please help...
Hi..im just had a velvet outbreak. i got cupramine and dosed the 1st dose. I followed the direction on bottle label. My label says 20 drops per gallon. My label corresponds to that on seachem website. But i see ppl commenting 16 drops per gallon, 10 drops per gallon. Did I overdose?
What is the...
Things are getting out of control with Red Planaria in my 29 gallon reef tank. I've tried it all...manual removal which seems to be a daily chore, Flatworm eXit (multiple occasions), 12 line wrasse (casually grazes on them), but whatever I try I still find patches of flatworms on my rock work...
Hi,
I suspect that my Copperband Butterfly might have velvet. I was going to treat him with Cupramine, but then I read something about CP. I'm interested to know more about it, but I have no idea where to look.
If anyone has used this treatment before, I'd love it if you could share your...
