I notice my snoflake will go 5 days without taking full interest in food, then hitting the food rather fast after that. He is in with 2 lions and a clowntrigger. Since the lions and clown trigger have been with him, his interest seems at least competitive. So he eats more than usual, every...

Yes very true - because I remember the day my girlfriend went to petco. Wow - all her fish in her reef died in a week and one of them that looked fine was housed in my main display tanks refugium. Then my fish all got ill. Sticking with my family run LFS because I haven't run into that there -...

The clown is huge, I guess if you saw him you'd know. lol. Plus I had his razor teeth capped with titanium (like the navy seal dogs). So he will be okay. I have seen clowns love an anemone to death when they are big. I never saw one get eaten by the anemone. Lol. That would be very sobering. :)

Well the battle is over. Theres been no signs the past few days at all. Among the dead are 1 sailfin large was extremely healthy - emperor angel, Niger Trigger, and porcupine puffer. I think this was completely my fault. I started the waterfall tanks inline with my 120G. When the ph dropped and...

I was thinking that. I started to feed erythromicin in their food and started a new U/V sterilizer, and after 3 days (6) feedings, the clown lost all of the oodenium looking stuff on him. I am being very careful because this is im my reef. Did not want to do it , but also couldn't watch them die...

Did you ever try feeding rather large half clams? I know mine loves them - never turns them down, but mine is a small Snowflake.

are you dosing Stront & Moly, as well as Iodide? That's how I keep mine purple

Thanks to you all. This is crazy. I honestly know I cross contaminated because i always stuck to a main rule. Get your fish from one place. When we got the clown the rule was broke, but not for my tank. When it was so sick (a clown) putting it in the refugium had to release the disease. It took...

Yea. It's over. they all have it. I am going to run U/V slow enough to kill the bug over s strict no fish for atleast 4 months. I ordered a sterilizer should be here tomorrow. I will still use my 36W Turbotwist as well, but will run the 40W I have on the way. My fish are all coated bad. I have...

Went to feed. Another down. 8 line wrasse, bottom lips are swollen up. that's how it starts.

Thanks for responding, No I dont have a meter. I can't catch the tang either. My local store said what you did. Said to remove ths sick fish and get a pond sterilizer and dont add more fish. Run a pond sterilizer and irradicate the virus assuming that the others aren't carrying it. Then after a...

My reef of 120G hooked to another 3 stage 150 gallon reef is doing horrible. Ph 8.0, dkh 10, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrates low. Don't know what to do. The emperor I had is dead. Shortly after the puffer. Eyes got cloudy and bam. Now in the main reef that supplies all the water, my 2 year old...

he was doing well. Eating mostly his krill. I did seperate him from the emperor angel because the emperor looked a little stressed. Came home and the puffer was on the bottom and eyes clouded breathing shallow. He was in with a brain coral - a frogspawn - and a giant clam which he left alone...

:frustrat:This guys sick Uggggghhhhh! I don't want to whine, but I have really been trying. Guess I messed up here. Doing a battery of tests tonight and hitting him with every food I can until he comes becak, but I imagine hes getting pulled and brought to Green Bay. My local aquarium shop will...

Okay, so I will get some of the emerald entre, formula 2, and then i will make and freeze a DIY receipe. Any tips on making that? I get carrots - squash, cucumbers, etc... then belnd them slightly and freeze in a good freezer bag. How do I get the veges soft. Do I nukem a bit before I freeze...
