Was out of town for about 3 days and trusted someone who should have had enough experience in the hobby to watch over my tanks. The only thing that really needed to be done was feeding the predators as most everything else was automated but when I came home and my quarantine tank with a cow fish that have been living there for over a month now was stuck in the intake of a nano protein skimmer that I don't typically run, and wasn't running when I left. Naturally I turned off the skimmer and he's acting like he's doing fine, eating algae and mysis, but his left fin isn't moving well and there's clear discoloration to the side of his body that was getting trapped by the intake. He's eating and I've turned off lights and all flow, but my issue is I don't think this tank is sustainable without any flow whatsoever. The main filtration was a modified algae reactor. Is there a specific area that would be better to direct the flow or should I just try to disperse it as much as possible with the makeshift spray bar?
I have a hard time identifying ick on cowfish and I was wondering if anyone had any advice or experience. I know treating it on these guys can be tricky. My current parameters are within the ideals and is only tank made is a long spine sea urchin that isn't very long spined right now as well as a Fighting conch. He's somewhere between 1-1.5 inches currently, just growing him out a bit.
