Hi all new here but have been into fresh and marine for sometime.
I have a 55 cube setup now and everything has been going well. my salinity is good and my kenyas and corals are doing ok. I am using power compacts, was using a 400w metal halide months ago but it was way too much for the tank.
ok here is the issue. I have 2 clowns a chocolate tang and a foxface.
all were doing fine except for my 1 clown who I believe suffered a stroke due to the 400w metal halide some time ago, he is ok now just swims on his side but eats and swims regularly but after the light I think the tank got a little too hot and may have caused him a stroke unfortunately.
as stated all was fine and all my fish have been really active and lively. except my tang who I just noticed was swimming but stuck to a filter breathing heavily. I netted it and found it had turned deathly spotty white and can not get its equilibrium as you can see, I dont know what has happened all other fish are fine and no major changes in past month at all. I did a small water change after seeing this believing possibly high nitrates. but what do u guys think? its not looking good but PLEASE HELP OR Input would be appreciated. I am really bummed this was one of my favorite fishes and quite honestly one of the most beautiful ones I had. The chocolate coloration was really nice and it hurts to see my tang like this!
normally it is a beautiful chocolate color this literally must have happened in the last 48hrs when I started noticing I havnt seen it for awhile that is when I saw it on the filter.
I really wanna do everything I can to try and save this fish!!!
