Dont see video
Sorry, seem to have some sort of error in uploading. Looks to be a common issue? Here's a screen shot of the video.

Thank you, has some discoloration after what I believe to be parasites. I'm on day 16 with cupramine.

He/she was literally curled up 2 weeks ago for days, I only knew it was alive because it moved it's eyes. Lost a lions fish and a pink faced wrasse in the outbreak.

Based on recommendations I am going to try to run the therapeutic cycle 30 days before water change and cuprisorb. I'll monitor closely and extract sooner if I see any issues.

Breathing great last 10 days
Eating like a pig (again, thankfully)

Ammonia - 0 RedSea; .25 API (I know)
Nitrate - 0 to 5 (API)
pH - 7.8 to 8 (API)
Salinity - 1.025
Temp - 76 to 78; generally reads 77.6 on the digital thermometer in the sump
Voltage - not that I am aware of
Age - started 7/15/20

Testing - I run API full kit every other day (overkill, I know). I have been running a RedSea Ammonia as a check/balance once every 7 days. Since adding the cupramine I test copper daily, with a reference sample every 3rd day.

Great on eating. Add both selcon vitamin and garlic extract to the foods for stamina and immune system health.
Feed at minimum, meaty foods such as:
Krill
plankton
mysis shrimp
LRS Herbivore diet
squid
clam
Rods foods original formula

Thank you! Sorry, forgot to mention using Sera vitamins, with LRS Herb Frenzy, clams, LRS nori, krill, and silver sides. Happy to add more variety to the diet, if you see a benefit. Thanks again!

***UPDATE***

Day 19 of treatment. I was able to get a photo of them attacking the LRS this morning. Tank is a bit cloudy, so anything that looks like a spot on this in the picture, is actually a particle in the water.
