England here, no, I know nothing about fish diseases.

Wow Ray, sorry you’ve been dealing with this. last I knew you thought you had Ich, Velvets a kick in the cajones I wish on nobody. I only managed to save 5 or 6 of 14 fish when I dealt with it And lost all of my favorite fishes. FWIW I‘m glad you didn’t catch the Tamarin in the beginning, they do not tolerate Cupramine well. Sounds like you figured that out along the way as well.

You’re doing good, don’t let the losses get you down. If you do decide to try copper on the Tamarin let me know and I’ll send you Copper Power and the Hanna Checker to work with.

“England Here” always cracks me up!

Brother I’m sorry to read about the losses? Someone else I know lost all his fish because of coral. So hard to keep things out of the tank.

Now let’s get more positive. The rescape looks great. It adds more depth to the tank

Thanks Don. That which does not kill us just pi@@es us of Reefingis like being a little kid again sometimes need to learn the lessons the hard way

@firsttimeowner England is a different slice of reefing their supply chain doesn’t seem to have issues with fish disease we have plus they get some pretty sweet corals. Bauer has an incredible setup and a but load of pics in his build thread if ya like eye candy

That sounds awesome and I would like to agree but living in the UK and having bought all my fish in the UK and encountering new problems every time I'm starting to wonder.......

@Raege our nitrates are currently sitting at 18 do you think this would play a factor in my issues or not?

It woüld seem not LFS are created equal Another good point of R2R is finding the gems out there from other reefers in your area

 

[Raege]

Nitrates as far as fish health not an issue. Some corals yes but even then every tank is different

I agree with that just like when I got sold the wrong fish and put them together which resulted in one very bullied tang

Awesome, thank you for that, i just wanted to ensure that it was not a factor!

You need to post this in the fish forum, you will get a lot more eyes on the issue and posting the size of the tank, age and water test results will help.

I have done so already and they think it may potentially be brook :/ now I commence with setting up a quick QT tank, freshwater dip and copper treatment.

Thanks it has had its setbacks rl illness and then velvet so not where I wanted but danger close to being the dream in my mind. Thanks for checking out my thread please tag me when you start your build threads do I can follow along

 

[Raege]

Oh no and you were building up to all desired stock. For CBB- salgado aquatics is your place. . . . quarantined and eating when you receive it.

Hopefully by the time I’m ready Salgado will be shipping again. They are awesome sad I lost my half black and Scopas from them they were beautiful

Morning salty friends, Memorial Day is off and running! Nice breakfast finished ribs getting ready to high be grill with some corn on the cob. Hope your all giving a relaxing day as well.
On the salt side hospital tank is getting the copper sucked out if it with cuprisorb and carbon. Once it’s zeroed out will remove both and do a round of meds to make sure all fish are healthy as can be.
Been thinking on bacteria a bit. While velvet is prime suspect it’s just a best bet. Aquabiomics has 20% off sale for Memorial Day so ordered up a before and after see if report will bail down what hit the tank then I can use second yo confirm the fish can go home to display.
The geek in me is rather excited !
