    UV Sterilizers in Reef Tanks: What They Actually Do (and Don't Do)

    EMERGENCY Should i treat one or both or them

    I recently added 2 clownfish to my tank and now I’m not sure if one of them has ich or brooklynella. Every thing in tank is fine besides slightly high salinity of 37-38ppt. Im not sure if I should treat both of them for brooklynella and/or ich using metroplex or just the one showing symptoms.
