Hello all fellow reef enthusiasts!!
My name is Ella and I’m brand spanking new here !!
Little bit about me:
I live in a small (not really rural just literally nothing to do here) town in NSW Australia,
I am 20 years old,
I am absolutely in love with reef tanks and have been since I was a wee lass!!
My favourite marine species would be....
hmm, a hard choice but my list includes:
Porcupine puffers, moorish idols, powder blue tangs, sea biscuit starfish and I have a weak spot for dwarf lion fish
At this moment in time I own two tanks!
My first tank is a 100L freshwater tank. My phat (fat with a p) bois live there, typical oriental goldfish who are BEAST! And some schooling white clouds. Gotta love a classic goldfish tank!!
Buttttttt my pride and joy is my 220L reef tank (not sure how many gallons tbh haha), and at this moment in time I have my Moorish idol best friend Scar living in there with his frenemy a purple dotty back called Grape!
I have only had this tank since early January, had it running (cycling) for THREE months before I even added anything! (Productive aren’t I )
I have approx 6 KGs of live rock in there and also 2 hammer head corals so far !!
Sadly, I was uniformed about ‘sump pumps’ when first setting up so I don’t have a sump on my tank (f up I know), my lfs didn’t really inform me too well about all this in the beginning so ....
Besides the point !
I have a question / problem...
Today I added in an extra hammerhead coral, and ever since doing so my buddy Scar has had white spots appear all over him... (obviously he has white spot)
He is still his usual self but my question/s are this:
*would this possible white spot outbreak be because of the new coral?
*i currently don’t have a qt tank (am working on getting one before adding more fish don’t worry!) so should I once purchased a qt tank put Scar in there for treatment or will it eventually pass??
*i have cupramine to treat him, if I added that directly into the tank would it harm the corals??
Yes, the elephant in the room is that as much as I hate to admit it I’m still a ‘newbie’ to this whole thing so its taking a hard bite at my pride asking for help butttt I am not risking scars life because of my ignorance !!!
All of my water parameters are fantastic btw!
So, much more experienced reefers.
PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE !!!!
Thank you in advance
Ps enjoy the pic of my pride and joy before I added any live stock
