Like it seems like he's rubbing his chin raw I've done two 25% tank changed water changes in the last few days I'm not sure if the corals had anything to do with it and then also my enemy he has lost some spines and this all kind of started after I had a salinity Spike doing a water change about 3 weeks ago

So what I'm wondering is could it be the urchins spines that fell out that are irritating them could it be the death of the coral which I removed

Now when I look real closely the blue hippo Tang does have a lot of little blue or a lot of like little white Speck things on the one side of them how do I take care of it in a saltwater aquarium

Unfortunately the fish came in with disease and since your system is so new, it can't help them fight it off. You will have to catch them and set up a quarantine tank to apply medications. This isn't something I know anything about, so hopefully the medics will reply.

You can start by listing your system specs, tank size, equipment... also, how did you cycle the tank? Water parameters with actual values, also a couple pictures of the tank with just white lights on, and pics of fish. I know they will ask for video in white light of the fish breathing.

Hello I have some questions about the hydrogen peroxide treatment for velvet and ick my tank is a 32 and 1/2 gallon tank I'm wondering how many milliliters I dose a day and how many times a day for the first week if this works I unfortunately cannot take my fish out and put them in a separate tank
