Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Hemmdog]

Is it possible that there is something in the water stressing your fish causing some to jump, and causing the ick to show up?

Thanks man. When I was in Hawaii at the end of April the pet sitter didn’t have the air on or open the windows/doors ever. So it got really hot in my place for a week. The ick was there on the abt when I got back and that’s when my first jump happened, my blue throat trigger, rip. The ick on the abt has just gotten so much worse it’s hard to watch. I tried to catch him to treat but he still is very energetic and swims away super fast. Idk what I'm going to do.

Ah, man. The damage an uncaring or ignorant tank sitter can do makes me second guess long vacations. I have not yet had the challenge of treating a sick fish. I pray you are able to nurse them back to health. Fwiw i have 2 extra hob filters (tidal 35 and the corallife marine filter with protien skimmer) i can send your way to use if you want to set up a couple temporary hospital tanks.

Thanks brother, I’ll let you know if I somehow manage to catch him. I just hope things turn around for the fish soon. Every time I focus on my coral and coral health & put my fish on the back burner something like this happens :( I need to find balance.

Sorry @Hemmdog that is a hard run of luck.

Thanks caveman. Things could be worse I suppose.

@crusso1993 We like you no matter what mood you are in, naughty or nice.

Awwww... shucks.... thank you!

@crusso1993 made me feel good today about being more active on the forum. Go figure, right? Love you folks.

One nice part is my missing you being around is genuine. I generally do not throw emotional statements around just for back patting or butt kissing.

@crusso1993 please insert the song Issues. I happen to love that one.

Here you go...

I was born in South St. Louis. ;)

Sorry about that...

My next husband will have to be rich so I can stay home to take care of all of the animals. Ok, I'd still want to volunteer with kids.

Sounds rather foreboding... hhmmm

@Hemmdog - sending good vibes and juju for you and the tank.

I know you know this now; when having a tank sitter make sure to cover ALL the bases. Always a good idea to have a very, very clear list of do's and another very, very clear list of don'ts typed out, gone over with sitter and displayed next to tank(s).

Thanks, brother. Glad we are both back around.

@Hemmdog I hope you have a better day today. I think the temp fluctuating can absolutely allow your problems to start. I think that is exactly the trigger. So... you really might just have to wait this out. I would strongly suggest feeding a variety of good foods. I think that is basis of the immune system.

 

[Katrina71]

@Hemmdog I highly recommend New Life Spectrum Probiotics, Thera+A, and Ick shield!!!!

 

[Katrina71]

I really think the probiotics formula saved Andrew's Goby when she was stung by the nem so badly.

 

[sfin52]

I make my own food now. clams, oyster,shrimp,founder,fish eggs,vitamins, freeze dried plankton. Fish destroy it. Color looks better as well.

 

[siggy]

Yes. I must be on the underground railroad for stray hungry animals.

I know the feeling. I am the area squirrel whisperer. I get all the babies from trees cut down and nests falling out. I hand raise em and them stage release them...

I just found my 3rd dead yellow coris wrasse behind my 90 this week. More interestingly enough I’ve never bought a yellow coris and I’m not missing any of my fish.

Whoa? What? Someone is trying to frame you!!

Been awhile since I checked in to the thread hope the tanks are good and all is well.
I am getting ready to get my AWC going and purchase a rabbitfish from Live aquaria or someone else that has small ones.

Two things I would love to have. The AWC is possible at least.

I am calling it "fairy tale ice castle", you can call it blue sponge if you wish! ;)
Bit of a rescape near it's corner later, I need sand bed space for one of the larger chalice! :)

This is the AWC unit next to my RO/DI. Not the best wire management but it works
