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...

Yes, I am guilty of not following strict qt protocol on my last fish addition, :( which has brought ich into a fully loaded, 150 gallon mixed reef. The big problem is that I depart for a 3 week vacation in 8 days! :eek: Here are some details... Fish List: PJ Cardinal (no signs of ich)...

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...

I was at petco looking for a heater on Friday afternoon, and saw a little bangaii cardinal. I have been looking for bangaii's for a while and decided to purchase him. I looked at him, and he looked healthy and swam fine, but the glass was coated in a little algae, so I got him. They wrapped him...

Hi guys, Due to a sudden ich outbreak, I had to set up a quick QT tank. To jump start the biofilter, I used FritzZyme 9. It's now been 2 weeks since setting up the tank and I've noticed the fish are looking a bit stressed and breathing rapidly. Here's a list of livestock: (1) Two Spot...

I bought this copperband butterfly from Liveaquaria. It came with a white big spot in its back fin and one side fin. After one day he is showing more but they look a bit different that ich. They are bigger. Do you have any idea what can it be and what should I use? I have to say he is eating...

Hello Everyone, Need help! I have a 4 inch Achilles Tang, Gem tang, and other fish listed below. ALL the fish were eating fine, getting along, no fighting no stress. Had the Achilles for 2 weeks and noticed Ich, in my 125 Gallon reef tank 7 days ago. No signs of ich when I got him and he was...

Hi, I have fallow my dt for 76 days and qt and treat copper with my fish for 30 days. However, might be the new corals or cross contamination , ich shown up again in my dt. It has been a month since I added my fish back and the ich is heavily affecting my fish. I have tried to feed Lrs reef...

Hello, I have a 2 month old 120 gallon tank where I had 2 cardinals, 2 tangs, 2 clowns die this past weekend. I assume it was ich, though only one clown had one spot last week and all the fish seemed healthy until the day they died. They were all eating and didn't show any signs of distress...

To start, I have a small system and no QT. I got 2 new wrasses last week (7 days ago) and they went straight into the display. They have been eating well, very active, etc and today I noticed probably 2 spots of ich on each fish. Fish in my display have had it before and fought it off and I have...

When it comes to a QT do you guys let the fish rest a day or so and then give them copper treatment for ich and such as a precaution. Or do you just let them sit in the QT for a set amount of time and hope they show no signs of disease that could be introduced into your tank? also; I welcome...

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...

i got this copperband on 2/2 and i noticed when i put him in the quarantine tank there was 2 little white specs on this tail fin. i know ich trophonts have a cyst cycle of about 3-8 days and this guy still has these spots as of today. i just need to know if there are any other white spec related...

So my last tank is officially taken down and out of commission. I essentially shut it down and never broke it down, because I was tired of dealing with ich. I’m now attempting to do this with as much thought and thoroughness as I can. To prevent any losses in the new tank I’m setting up. I’m...

hi everyone, The product suggested 5ml/4 gallon dosage of Coppersafe but the copper level will be around 1.16-1.17 which are not in the therapeutic(1.5-2). I have slowly raise to 2ml per gallon as @Humblefish suggested in the other thread, but my api test kit is showing more than 2pm? Please...

I recently got a yellow tang from my local pet store, and it has been developing some dark splotching on its’ scales. Is it Black Ich? I don’t know exactly what it is and i have no idea how I could fix this. Anything helps you guys!

I've recently noticed my ornate leopard wrasse striking her body against the sand. I only recently noticed this. Do you think it could be ich? Or is this normal behavior since she sleeps in the sand. Today I took this video of her behavior, and it occurred right before she buried in the sand to...

Hello guys i have a bad ich problem on my tank and i am looking got a solution to fix this and treat it the right way. Only problem i have is that i live in a small studio and don't have space for a quarantine tank so that is out of the way i am looking for a reef safe option to treat and fix...

Ok so I have a 40 saltwater tank. I added 2 clown fishes and in few hours I noticed one of the fishes has a little speck on her head or it might be a little scratch. Sometimes it looks like a dot and sometimes it looks like a scratch. My clown fishes have been playing with each other but I...
