Hi all
I have been fighting with HLLE for years, every day, when I see them, I feel very bad, incompetent, for not being able to solve this problem.
Seen my videos, the HLLE started near to september of 2016, and I have been improving many things during this time, but something still wrong, and now I'll ask help.
1 - I don't use activate carbon
I used just few times when a treatement was necessary in the system, as whitebugs treatment.
2 - I use ground probe and there is no stray voltage
I had a problem in the grounding of my house, I had 8v on the grounding to aquarium, so recently I made a new dedicated ground for aquarium ground probe and now I have 0v of stray voltage.
3 - Feed a good variety of foods and some vitamins
Current fish feed scheduling
-Neptune AFS 5 times per day: NLS Thera+A, NLS Algaemax, Tropical d'allio plus, just a little bit of NLS Ick Shiled and NLS Hex Shiled
-Once to two times per day Sera GVG Mix
-Once per day TLF Sea veggies, one day green, other day purple.
-Every other day Ocean Nutrituon Formula One
-Every other day FisrtBite Veggies pellets
Vitamins on food once a week
-Brightwell Vitamarin-M
-Brightwell Vitamarin-C
-S.E.C.O Boost
-Vita Chem
4 - The water quality is good
Ca - 440
Mg - 1230
Kh - 7,7
K - 400
NO3 - 0
PO4 - 0,015
Density 1,025
5 - Ozone
My ORP is low, I'm using ozone since the beginning (2014), now the ozone generator isn't so efficient, I need to change it. It's a 500 mg/h, now it's running 24h/day and the orp is 300.
I checked the orp probe, it's reading correctly, but I don't know how many mg/h the generator is producing. But with out the generator the orp should be around 200.
6 - Stress
HLLE began near the time that Sohal was introduced into the tank, but not all my problems with HLLE are limited to tangs, I also have in angels and mystery wrasse, those aren't stressed by the Sohal.
So I don't know if that would be the reason.
7- Parasite infection.
I dunno how I can identify those things, but I fed the fishes with hex shield as it was in the instructions.
8 - Bacterial infection.
I dunno how I can identify those things too. Never done nothing for bacterial infections.
Fishes Affected:
- Yellow Tang
- Desjardini Tang
- Hippo Tang
- Potter Angelfish
- Flagfin angelfish
- Mystery Wrasse
Tank Setup.
Tank: 75x31x28 280G
Sump: 43x21x18 68G

Ozonizer: Enaly 500 mg/l/h
Ozone Reactor Reef Octopus
Return Pump: WaterBlaster 10.000
Skimmer: Regal 300SSSS

I need more ideas of things I should do, my fish should stop suffering
Thanks
