    First QT, Ich in Trophont Stage

    I woke up this morning and checked on my two tangs in QT. I am dosing Copper Power twice daily so besides just generally enjoying the fish, I needed to give them their 1.2 ml dose of Copper Power. I was surprised to see that both tangs (much more so on the Kole) were covered in white specks...

    Damselfish stranded in quarantine

    Hi Reef2Reef, I've been in a bit of a knotty situation ... I've had a young springer's damselfish in the quarantine for almost 70 days now, but I'm not sure if I should transfer this fish to my display. At first I had this damselfish and two neon gobies together, all juvenile. The two neon...

    Blue Velvet Nudibranch vs Red Planaria

    Things are getting out of control with Red Planaria in my 29 gallon reef tank. I've tried it all...manual removal which seems to be a daily chore, Flatworm eXit (multiple occasions), 12 line wrasse (casually grazes on them), but whatever I try I still find patches of flatworms on my rock work...

    CP Treatment for Velvet?

    Hi, I suspect that my Copperband Butterfly might have velvet. I was going to treat him with Cupramine, but then I read something about CP. I'm interested to know more about it, but I have no idea where to look. If anyone has used this treatment before, I'd love it if you could share your...

    My new QT treatment logic.

    So now I'm changing my game plan on most new arrivals. I've been dosing CP (40mg) during TTM coupled with Prazipro. I feel it's about the safest route to go considering that nearly all fish I've seen lately have a Parasite, Flukes, Bacterial infection, Viral infection, etc, etc. We know that...

    Do you have Velvet?

    I have purchased fish twice this year, once in May and again in late December of 2016. BOTH lots got wiped out by velvet. Like an idiot I tried TTM on my Anthias because surely the distributors have worked things out by now right? Nope, got Velvet, total QT wipeout. It's so disheartening, it's...
