Hello all,
I am new to Marine Tank and Saltwater aquariums and looking forward to share stories and learn about different techniques and tips for my 20 gal reef tank.
I'm currently having a huge problem with the Tank. All my fish (2 Clowns, 2 blue Damsels and 1 Yellow Watchman Goby) died within 32 hours. I suspect that I have Ich or Velvet infestation. The Watchman Goby and the Clowns became very pale, while the damsels show yellowish spots on them (now they are dead ).
My Hermit Crabs, Cleaner Shrimp and Snails seem to be OK, as well as my one corral I have so far in the Tank.
I've read multiple posts on this forum and found valuable information. So, I will go fallow today and wait for 76 days before adding fish to the tank again.
However, I am uncertain about the copper treatment: is it necessary to treat with copper if the tank is fallow?
Another question I had, is it sufficient to feed the corals and inverts with my pellets every 3-4 days?
Thank you in advance for the tips and help!
