(Took all fish out into qt that’s why fire fish is there as well) can’t get royal gramma hiding in pipe and breathing heavy.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Does your water test zero for ammonia?

This could well be velvet.

You’ll want to get the copper power level up to 2.25 today, don’t raise it slowly. The fish may not have that much time.

Ammonia is zero, I was thinking velvet too I was trying to be cautious and not stress him anymore then he is but you think get it up there today.
