Hello, Long story short, i've had a 40 gallon breeder tank thats brand new, I got two clowns from my lfs, 4 weeks later one of the 2 clowns died of Hole in the Head Disease/Hexamita that was present in it from the lfs and my inexperience missed. I just got a replacement clown today and i'm...

Setup my first quarantine tank last week as I had a powder brown tang and bi-color angel on the way. I pulled the water from my 90-gallon tank followed directions on here and thought I was good. I did one water change about 30% so far after I went to the LFS and they tested and said ammonia...

Hi. I’m a new to the hobby. I have a FOWLR tank that recently had an Ich attack. I quarantined the fish that had Ich and kept my other fishes in my DT. Do I have to also remove my other fishes from my DT?

Hi guys I need help! I have 6 fish in a 40cub qt, tested for ammonia yesterday and it’s at .25. I got a 180 and am fallowing the tank currently and I’m a bit crammed for space so I had to qt inhabitants together it will soon take 2 of the fish out of the 40 and put them in a 75 for the remainder...

Ok, Poll question here. I am starting a new tank, and transferring livestock from my old tank. My old tank has some big fat healthy tangs, and guess what, it also has ich. Rarely, and I mean like 1/year, I see some spots on the tangs, usually if if a new addition arrives or something big...

Hello everyone, I really need your help. I started a 55 gallon reef 2 years ago, never quarantined anything and practiced ich management and a lot of "dump any pray", fast forwarding a year and a half i upgraded to a 75 gallon reef, couple months later I got a 180 which is my current tank. Im...

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with a fluke like worm that has survived 30 days of cupramine at 0.5 as well as 3 weeks of prazi at double the dose every 4 days, as the first go round didn’t eliminate them. I removed all medicine 3 days ago and saw them flashing again today. Did a freshwater...

Hey guys I just picked up a tang and it’s swimming super weird. It twitches it’s head often but it also goes near the surface at times and freaks out. Just curious if anyone can identify this disease so I can cure this little bugger. The video doesn’t do it too much justice but hope it helps...

I'm going to use this thread to lay out how I'm quarantining and to journal this experience as I go through it. In researching all the stuff involved with this, I would find information more helpful knowing it was recent as opposed to, say, 5 years old. For instance, some of the older posts...

Hello, So i have a bad ich outbreak. My blue tang, yellow tang, coral beauty, and dwarf lion fish all have ich. My other fish 2 clowns, and eel, and these two blue fish but non of them have ich. So i had a couple of questions: If i remove all my fish from my DT to my QT ( I read for 3-8...

I am in the cycling phase of my Red Sea Reefer XXL 750. While not a monster, it is 200 system gallons and should be able to support a few tangs. While I sit and daydream of my stock list, reading how to do it right, I see over and over again that one should add all of the tangs at the same time...

Hello all! It’s a sad morning for me as I woke up to my first fish casualty. My hopes for this post is to get any advice as to what may have happened so that I can prevent it in the future. It’s a bit of a long story but I’ll try to be concise. My royal gramma was the first fish in my tank...

Do I need to quarantine my clown fish if I'm moving them from one tank in my house to another tank in my house?

Newbie here seeking input on Quarantine Protocol. I have a 20 gallon display tank and a separate 10 gallon quarantine tank. After what felt like a very LONG cycling period, we finally made our first marine fish purchase of two ocellaris clowns on Saturday, it was an exciting day for my family...

I noticed that my angel has some Ich. I set up a QT yesterday. I filled the QT with tank water, threw in some biomedia and a filter pad, along with a splash of Fritz Turbostart 900 and a small amount of fish food for ammonia. I let that cycle overnight. I just tested water now and its reading 0...

They’ll only be spending 1-2 months in the tank but still I want them to have enough room.

Hi everyone. Can you or have you all ever dosed microbacter7 in your hospital tank while using either cupramine or copper power? Are there any benefits, any problems. I would like to increase bio diversity within the QT but don’t know if the combination of MB7 and cupramine is a bad idea or...

I have some fish in qt rn with ich or velvet and my blenny is acting up he was limp on the bottom but then started thrashing and went limp again I checked I didn't see any ich or velvet on him I'm afraid that he might've gotten stabbed by my foxface I stuck him in a net at the top of the tank...

There are dark spots on my Midas blenny, on his left side by his dorsal fin about 3/4 of the way down his side. And his lower tailfin has it at the base as well ( also I just treated him for parasites but I noticed his poo not wanting to let go do I need to do another regimen? Using new life...

Copper level. What do you all think?.... I think .5......(hard to read, still waiting on hanna copper tester to arrive) Seachem cupramine. Salifert copper test. Thanks everyone.

I have a clownfish has pop eye and the royal gramma seems be doing this weird thing against the wall. He also is not as purple as he was. All other fish seem fine, eating and Swimming healthy. Just did a water change today as well, all levels are fine as they should be. I’m pretty new to this...

I may have put my thread in the wrong forum. Here is a link with all the info: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/quarantine-leopard-wrasses-from-liveaquaria.736621/

Hi Everyone, I’ve had some bad luck with leopards lately that’s been compounded by the lack of availability due to Covid-19. I’ve tried 3 and only had 1 survive. Sadly, that one recently jumped out of the tank... So, after extensive research. I’ve decided to have another go. Eventually, the...

So today was day 12 of no signs of ICH, so I made the big jump and double transferred from my qt, copper treated tank to my display tank, and now in tanklimate for 2-3 days. I've never done quarantine or used the tanklimate, hopefully I did all I can to have a safe environment for all the fish.
