OK. In the future I suggest that you not start a new thread when you are addressing a continuing even such as this. We see so many similar questions and threads that we are not able to immediately recognize when a new thread has history that can be valuable.this is the link where we discussed ich and then possibly velvet.
Lost a clown fish. Advice.
This morning I lost 1 of 2 clowns. I believe it was Ich although the speed in which she went down makes me wonder. Clowns have been on the tank for a month. Currently the only fish. Couple zoa frags, hermits, and trochus snails. Both clown have been eating since day one. A couple weeks ago I...www.reef2reef.com

If the ailment is either ich or velvet, you need to get the concentration to the 2.25 - 2.50 ppm immediately. Anything lower will not work and a slow ramp up can be disaster.
Yes. I just noticed your new checker has arrived. I assume you had been at .80 for a while then you have ramped up to 1.75. So, either now or in several hours I would go to the full dose. I'm basing this on your description while I would feel better if we were able to see photos/videosw.ok. this fish showed 0 symptoms during that event. i only made a new thread so i could tag emergency, the previous thread did not warrant such a tag.

So ramping straight to 2.5 i can do. that does go against the qt protocols listed on here which is why I have done it this way. dosing to 2.5 now
it was at .8 for about 24hours.Yes. I just noticed your new checker has arrived. I assume you had been at .80 for a while then you have ramped up to 1.75.

I did it based on 15sec. If anything my count was low. But as mentioned above I am seeing some signs of improvement. The night will tell. Thank you for your help!I missed the photos when they appeared in our back and forth discussions. Sorry. Difficult to tell much since the clownfish is predominantly white. With the death of the other and the behavior you see, I would continue with the QT as we discussed. Count the number of breaths in 10 or 15 seconds and extrapolate. The estimate you made is high but not as high as it could get if velvet is the culprit. Be on the lookout for mucus or slime on the body and around the gills.
