Photo bomb if I’m postin to much or to many pics sry don’t drop a like here If ya dig the pics and don’t mind seeing often drop a like. Get more than 7 will keep going otherwise I’ll pull the plug for a while

Good thing bad things. Good thing buddy Rich stopped in to take pics and give m more camera tips. Bad thing close up of fish had spots. Spots weren’t there before I added last frags but bing they are there now.
System runs uv , I use probiotic salt, feed probiotic feed and high quality foods. This may be only reason fish are still behaving normally. The clock is ticking I can’t Choose who lives or dies and gets into treatment , no room for them all so I paid two times the cost of the meds for shipping polyp lab medic that’s reef safe.
Am going to increase feeding / vitamins start treatment Friday and keep fingers crossed.
Right now feel like been sucker punched in the family jewels.
Just on the road to loading up on corals and slapped down again. I’ve gone they Dinos twice bubble algae hair tuff cyano , gha over ran all when wife was hospitalized..... I’ve got nothing left in my gas tank if the polyp lab medic and what I’m running feeding now don’t cut it.
I’m hoping the reaper skips my door not cause I deserve it but because my wife does she loves the tank being home so much with her condition.

Ok pity party over. Send good vibes friends

I hope it goes well for you, I recently treated the twins to help one fish, I said I would never use chemicals, little fish is still alive and the tank is sulking.
What UV do you run?

Ty for the good vibes I hope it goes well too. If polyp lab medic can control and keep em happy will come up with a plan for a fallow period. Just need to get some money up for a big enough qt for my little friends.
Im using coralife turbo twist 18 watt uv on tank rated to 125 gal

I just took a look at the specs, have you got the flow rate set for bacteria, how old is the unit / bulb?

bulbs/ unit is just a few months old I have a brand new bulb on standby and I do have flow for bac close as I can throttle pump based on max pump rate. THnaks for having my back Si. Any other thing I could be missing forgetting about checking you guys shout out. Im getting out of holy crud mode and being bummed to get moving and dod something easy to forget stuff that needs doing checking.

fingers crossed only Scopas scratched once on a rock last night after staring at them for 2 hours. Cleaner shrimp is doing his thing with the fish lining up taking turns at his station. I may pick up a second cleaner? gotta see if they would be cool together.
From reading polyp lab medic can abate the outbreak but curing tank another deal. From reading its possible to eradicate but the moon and stars would have to align with dosing the stuff right when they went to free swim stage shich oddly enough I read isnt dependent on lighting but happens from 2am to to 7am from one study and afternoon. I will be dosing the stuff at 3am and 330 pm once it arrives. Searching craigs list for a new home to go fallow if possible.
Need to check out space and cost etc but going to figure it out. cant see a bunch or 10 gallon tanks lined up need something they can move in if they will live there for 76 days

I always like cleaners in twos.

Ray... what about my 55g long in the basement? I have a stand for it. All you would need is a canister filter or a couple large HOBs. Could have it set up and running tonight.

I also have the 26g bowfront that's been fallow for months and cycled for over a year. Anything I can do to help just say the word my friend. We will save them all, just like i did with mine hopefully.

I'm one call away bud.

Chin up and prepare for battle. I got u covered if u wanna set up the 55g long. You have come too far to not do it bud. You wont be alone.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Alright cracked open the canister filter and giving it a once over and cleaning. Checking everything out, and then I'll try to fix the gasket and test it. Filled it with fresh media for ya

Let you know soon if it leaks. Hang tough buddy.

Little adjustment on the rubber gasket... it works. No leaks. Gonna take 3-4 days of it running to clear the air our of the system. Typical from the research I just did to help with troubleshooting.

Voila

The tank, stand, canister filter, it's all ready for u if u decide to go that route in the meantime. Already have cupramine and prazi pro for ya too.

Just say the word and I'll mix up 10/15g of FSW and pull water from my display to give u a head start. Always got the 26g QT running for an emergency too.

We got this Ray.
