I noticed a couple of my fish have cloudy eyes tonight. Mary was nice enough to give me some reefsafe meds. Melafix and Pimafix which I am about to add. Are there any other suggestions or treatments that you guys know of if these don't work? My tank is full of LPS and some sps. The fish affected so far are the dorie fish and my pink tailed trigger. My tank is 36" tall drilled rock there is no way I'll be able to get these fish out of the tank without completely destroying the tank any suggestions thanks Chad!

If you use those meds watch the skimmer it will really go nuts with melafix in the water.

Future Reference, should always be prepared for getting a fish out. There are a number of fish trap plans out there that are highly effective. Providing the fish is still eating, you should be able to catch it. IMO: Treating a tank with corals is just too risky and need a better plan of action.

does anyone have a fish trap I could borrow?

Chris I would just monitor them and see if they are heading downhill before running to cure something that may just go away. Just my opinion but I am no pro. Triggers are tough fish. The tang will get better or worse but just feed em good for the next couple days and check in on them frequently.

Careful with those mela fix products as they will stain your aquarium! I usually try to do this in the quarantine tank but you cant do this so i suggest asking someone over at www.wetwebmedia.com they are really helpful!
