Hi
I think I’m having major issues in my tank and not quite sure what is happening.
We added a blue hippo tang in our tank around 6 weeks ago stupidly do not have a quarantine tank so did not quarantine her, she was doing fine for a while and then we started to see a few spots on her so doing some research we started to feed some garlic and soak the nori in garlic we have since bought and started dosing polyp lab medic as we couldn’t catch her and thought it was best to dose the tank encase all the other fish had caught the white spot, soo we are up to 15 days dosing and a lot of the fish are looking scabby (looks sort of like sunburn and peeling scales)
Unfortunately my fairy wrasse died and now have found my black capped basslet dead
My blue cheek goby looks like he might be dying but is still eating and occasionally swimming around and also my female twin spot anthias looks scabby.
Not sure the cause of this and all my corals are fine.
Have done water changes and my water parameters have not changed
Salt - 1.025/6
Ammonia - 0.0mg
Nitrite - 0.0mg
Ph - 8.5
KH - 12dKH
Calcium - 400mg
Phosphate - 1.0mg
Nitrate - in between 25/50 mg
Magnesium - 1500mg
Have been dosing Red Sea no3-po4-x for a while now too and can not reduce the levels of phosphate and nitrate.
Added cheato in sump but sea hare munched it up.
Please can somebody help I hate losing fish thanks in advance
