Hello, can you define sick? What symptoms? Behavior? Spots? “Dusting” on skin? Heavy breathing? Redness? Sores? Growths? Frayed fins? Scratching? Flashing? Hiding from light? Swimming in to powerhead?

Can you provide closer and clearer photos of the affected fish?

By the way welcome home to Reef2Reef, you will love it here!

Thank you! None of the above behavior. Angle frenchie has white spots between it's eyes. 2 fish has frayed fins. Treated tank w/PraziPro.
7days..Good. but French Angel spots
got worse..changed, sand,coral,water
100% Treating now with Melaflex7

Welcome to R2R. You are in good hands. I just wanted to state that you are literally living my dream. Living on a boat in the Caribbean with a fish tank of fish you catch. Only thing you could add to my dream is an unlimited supply of bourbon.

I'm now re-evaluating my choices in life.

Plenty of rum of the island.

Welcome to R2R... my first concern is that in two years you do not have coraline algae growth. Are the rocks relatively new to the tank? That would explain the brown color you are seeing. Others will be better at diagnosing the fish then I would.

Hi same rocks, removed them for cleaning. We do it have the same system as normal hobbyist due to being able to change water every 3 days 50%
Lighting is not adequate any more, is that a possibility for the redish Brown on rocks? I think I have 2 issues

I was looking for reef tanks on sailboats, I’m thinking about living in a sailboat. How do you manage this tank?

 

[vetteguy53081]

If you have power - you’re halfway there
Is boat going to be stationery or in water?
Waves and currents would concern me unless you have a way of covering tank for this event(s)

Hi Allie Welcome to R2R!!!

 

[Big Bosha]

First off, let me just say how cool it is that you keep a reef in this manor.... that is absolutely epic. As for the reddish brown coloration on your corals, it could be from lack of light. It does take months for a coral with low light to show signs or symptoms of sickness. Other members here will be able to clarify the information for you, reef2reef is an important tool for me. The members here will be able to help you. Just pose a question. I'm sure it will be answered.

You have been officially welcomed by the holy puffer water.
