Lol - pretty sure I just read you can't take good pics under LEDs after good pics under LEDs were posted.

I meant most people can't take pic's under LED's worth a darn because they can't figure out their camera settings properly. I gave up on trying with mine.

[revhtree]

Would you mind sharing what you fast cycled with

Nice tank Rev!

Bummed out. Lost my 6+ year old breeding picasso clown pair this morning, and my Achilles Tang a couple days ago. I introduced a disease into the tank via new coral where I let a lot of the water get in the tank. Well that's what I think anyway. I had just started treating the fish for ich but think it may have been velvet since it happened pretty fast. The clowns ate last night and one was dead this morning and the other died moments ago. I had all these fish for a long time.

It can happen to us all if you don't take good care. These photos were taken just a couple weeks ago.

Sorry to hear that bro. Time for some miami whites for your tank.

 

[Mole]

So sorry to hear this Rev.

Thanks guys. You can always buy new fish but fish like these become real pets and it hurts to lose them. I realize there are MANY more important things in life but they were under my care and I failed them. This pair let me do anything to their anemone, eggs, whatever and never took a nip at me. Never.

Sorry to hear that... That does not sound right about being introduced with a coral though.. Anyway if something is in there it would still come in on the coral, it dont matter how much water you had put in the tank though, one drop could be enough.. I might look somewhere else for the cause but I guess it is possible. Ich can be introduced that way easily.... Clowns are pretty healthy and can shake of most things. Brook is probably what they got if they went fast.

Nice to see your Magnifica is doing awsum still.

Dude, I feel ya. I have lost 3 fish in the past 2 years, 2 jumpers and one got a nasty wound that just never healed. I've taken care of the jumping situation, but every time I feel bad and I try to the best of my abilities to take care of all inhabitants. It sucks, I couldn't imagine losing a 6 year pair of clowns. This man would probably cry... (Did I just type that outloud?)

 

[Zero Nitrates]

Sorry Rev!

 

[rs1831]

Sorry to hear. I hope the rest of your tank recovers quickly and without any other losses.

 

[snwmnky007]

Really sorry. Hope the next set are just as great.

 

[TJ's Reef]

Rev, sorry to here bud and it certainly hurts to lose any livestock that we've had in our care long term. Hopefully you can figure out what exactly the issue/parasite was. Are you planning to run Fallow on the DT ???

Cheers, Todd

 

[mfief]

I hate it for you. I hope it's all uphill from here

 

[revhtree]

Thanks again. Feeling better today. Going to leave the tank fallow for at least 8 weeks. I will have some fish in qt ready to go though!

 

[revhtree]

Almost 3 weeks in to the fallow period. Had a dream last night I added fish and forgot! LOL!

Corals are great and coraline is taking over! LOL!
