Everyone doing great so far....accidently contaminated qt with dinos....so my testing has been on hold for the moment since I started bleach dosing on my dt. Did notice that my occeleris clown which I've had for about 2 years has something...thinking possibly brook.

Hang in there domination2580,
To me it doesn't look like ich and I've never dealt with Brook.

I have coppersafe on the way amd a test kit for it...won't be here till wednesday. So for the time being I'm dosing rally in case it's brook or velvet or flukes, once rally is done I should have copper to follow up on it

Ok guys here's an update. Everyone is doing great. Everyone including the wrasse is a pig, I did a formalin dip on the clowns and have been treating the tank with metro. She bounced back very well. I did add Epsom salt for the swelling and her eyes are now back to normal.

Do you have carbon? Parameters will help as well as pics.

Essentially and actually are just words lol it's not stable. Which is what you need. Not vibrant.
Disclaimer-just my opinion. I used vibrant on a 3 month old tank. It nuked it. Consider yourself lucky.

Are you saying you don't like Vibrant? Or just not in a young tank. Because I've been thinking about trying it.

Im saying in a young tank :)
Where the biological filter isnt up to par yet to take the hit of all the algae die off. Thats what got me. Even though I had more than enough live rock/bacteria, it wasnt mature enough to handle an ammonia spike.
I havent personally tried it in an established tank, although my friend is trying it right now in his 3 yr old tank so we will see.

Did some rockscaping today. I like how it turned out. More room in the middle to swim amd put frags.

Red sea for everything except phosphate. That was a salifert

 

[domination2580]

O crap forgot phosphate lol. Part time I checked it was 8.2 ph, 0 trite and 2 trate, ammonia 0, phosphate 0

So tonight I came home to my tank being a foot and a half down on water. Floor soaked, wall soaked, outlet black....what next....my luck this year sucks. I concluded my skimmer overflowed amd it is connected to a jug which overflowed tool the water dropped enough to have the powerhead shot the water out of the tank on to the light....I'm just glad my house didn't burn down

 

[domination2580]

Woke up this morning and found my wrasse dead. Not sure why, she was eating great, constantly swimming and always active, no breathing difficulties or anything...any one have ideas?

 

[domination2580]

I'm testing ammonia as we speak. My ammonia badge is in there so it will be a shock to find that is different
