Hello All,
New to the site so excuse me as I'm sure there are a hundred threads on this. I will look!
I have had a 2x2x4 reef tank for 16 years. Have had very little trouble with fish. Have a percula clown that has been in their for the whole 16 years, and two surgeon fish for aroundd 7 years. I lost a Koran Angel a couple of months ago that I had for eight years. he had pop eye around three years ago, survived but was blind in that eye. Ultimatelly the eye and then both eyes became covered with mucus or "cloudy eye" and he died.
I now have an Asfur Angel. Got him three weeks ago. I can hand feed him as he was already doing that in the shop. He had mid squables with the surgeons, though not the full on wars that can break out with new fish.
He eats very well, mysis shrimp, clam, pelet food, marine mix, greens etc.
Water quality is good in the tank, so the tests show.
However he developed cloudy eye in one eye last week. I though he may have been nicked by another fish, or on a rock or perhaps a parasite.I have read lots of things on the net, and spoke to local aquariums. I have tried triple sulfa, which is supposed to be reef safe (sort of). had fed him fresh garlic (loves it), lowered my salt from .023 to .020.
temperature is 26C. He still looks unafected, eats lots and is very livelly .No other fish shows anty sympton.
I could set up a treatmaent tank but it is hard to get him out with all the live rock etc. Is their anything that people can suggest?
Sorry if its a rather basic question.
Paolo
