Round 2 with velvet

[drawman]

So, is this 2.0? That's what I'm trying to achieve, right?

It sure looks to be around 2.0-4.0. Some (now including myself) move the vial about 1/2" above the card.

1/2" over card

I would say 2.0 :)

Cool, now I just need to keep it there for 30 days.

Oh here's my QT set up I built yesterday. Clowns, tang and six line up top, eel down below.

I think it is easier to tell under nondirect sunlight which you seem to have FWIW.

^^ Agree; take it outside & view under indirect sunlight. Makes a world of difference IME.

I would say 2.0 :)

^^ Agree again :); very close to 2.0 ppm.

Light spectrum makes all the difference! You're above 2.

Well, I'm petty sure I'll not be needing the chloroquine phosphate. My eel decided to leave his tank. I found him mostly dried up behind the stand this morning when I got home from work. I put him back in the tank because I heard they can live a while out of water but I ding have much hope... [emoji22]

Sadness . . .

Me too but it is not looking good. That guy was the reason I have a saltwater tank. Im just, discouraged. Time to get some sleep.

If you can get some methelyne blue, doing a bath could help him heal a bit. get a good tight lid for that tank if he recovers.

+1 Eels can survive out of water for quite some time. @tyler1503 for any further suggestions.

He's dead. Still hasn't moved.

 

[Humblefish]

He's dead. Still hasn't moved.

So sorry :(

 

[drawman]

Sorry for your loss. Hope all goes well with the tang!

Four months in the DT and never a problem trying to escape. It just slipped my mind that he wasn't happy in that 10g and he'd take the jump. He didn't even have velvet, just the possibility of spreading it. Well, I can't fathom having a reef without an eel so after my fallow period I'll look for another one.

The tang is fine, he's a bit pale but I don't see anymore velvet and he's eating. He comes out every now and then but mostly he hangs out under the HOB. Clowns are doing fine, they swim around the most of the 4. The six line hides in the PVC cave most of the time, but I saw him pop out for a second then go back in. 28 more days then I add carbon to the HOB and wait for the 6 weeks on the DT.

A bit blurry because he's swimming around, but looking MUCH better. Breathing is back to normal also.
