The tank has arrived! Will post photos tonight with it on the stand. Just got to run to the hardware store and get some 1/2” foam for under the tank!

...maybe like 35g-50g? Water changes will usually help clear things out of the water. Are you running any carbon at all?
Have you noticed anything else go missing? It's possible something died and you missed it, and it just decayed in a part of the tank you couldn't see.
#reefsquad more help pls.
...get that. Anyone have any other ideas as far as medication? I just put enough copper power into the tank to raise it to around 1.00ppm.
#reefsquad
Current symptoms:
Rapid breathing, around 180bpm
One gill doesn't open as far when the fish is breathing
Popeye
Lymphocystis? around the gills...
@HotRocks and #reefsquad , should I raise the copper levels to 1.0ppm overnight or less? I don't have a method to test copper until Friday when the hanna checker arrives. I can use the formula that Jay gave me to calculate total water volume and go from there. I am concerned by his popeye and...
@taricha @ScottR #reefsquad - should I resume skimming and water changes? I started my tank up with reef crystals and my first decent water change after cycling I began to make the switch to TM Pro Reef.
I am doubtful they are baby Vermetids. Other than that, I have no idea. If the zoas are happy I wouldn't worry too much but do keep an eye on em. #reefsquad
...display refugium, since there's no mechanical filtration there, but perhaps that would feed the critters in the display refugium? Option B is the opposite, where the display refugium would be getting "cleaner" water that comes after the skimmer & socks.
Tagging the #reefsquad for help, thanks!
...the added stress can even bring out diseases that were present but not affecting the fish. You mentioned moving the water, but how much live rock did you move and how much additional rock did you add? What type of filtration are you using (HOB, canister, sump, etc.)?

#reefsquad can help with answering euphyllia suddenly taking turns for the worst.
Have you check for stray voltage/current with a multimeter? I remember reading a thread a while back about someone mentioning LPS being susceptible to it. I would get on that ICP test asap!
Could really use some advice on a struggling coral and general nutrient management from the #reefsquad.
Background:
Picked up a nice seriatopora screaming green that has been our favorite coral so far. It thrived in QT for 76 days and grew quite a bit. Parameters were never a problem, but it...
Bump.
Anyone have any idea what disease I'm dealing with here? Should I go for a formalin bath and then into therapeutic levels of copper in the QT?
