velvet

I had a bicolor angel, tomini tang, and a koran angel. The tomini tang and bicolor angel looked perfectly fine, but the Koran angel had small white stuff on his rear fin. I thought it was lymph so I did not worry too much about death or the other fish getting it. I wake up this morning and both...

About a week ago I added ... I just realized all of these posts start with the same sentence. So about a week ago I added about 50 Astrea snails to a 150 gallon year old tank. My Emperator Angel likes to hunt and eat snails at least 1-2 a day and I like to see my rocks and acrylic naturally...

UGH. Let me start with - you live and learn and starting out in saltwater I knew I would learn, just not this quickly. I got a tank from my LFS - a nanocube 24 - that had live rock, live sand and water that had already been set up in store. Took it home, cycled it at home and once all my water...

Aquarium Medications: How to Treat Sick Fish Sometimes, despite our best efforts, illness can set in no matter how many precautionary measures we have taken.

Hi, when I left for work this morNing my achilles tang had white spots all over him and I presumed it was Ich. I was going to try and catch him when I got home tonight and put him in my hospital tank. When I came home he looked like the picture below. I fed him and he ate as well as grazing on...

Well, after I apparently aquired velvet in my tank and losing both a McCosker's wrasse and a yellow tang I decided it's time for meds to come into the picture. I pulled the live rock and substrate and am treating the tank with copper. My question is what's the best way to kill the velvet on the...

Greetings Reef Tank members! I'm new to the forum and pretty new to saltwater aquaria. I've got plenty of experience with freshwater, but that doesn't translate to saltwater quite so cleanly. If I may, and if you'd like to read, I'd like to tell you guys the history of this tank. After the...

Hello everyone, Alright, so i started my reef tank with a clarkii clownfish. He was beautiful and amazing. After some time i bought a bicolor angelfish, from another fish store which should be very good. But then it started to get white spots. I thought it was ich at first, so i fed them...

Took a "business trip/vacation" to San Fran and came back to a dead Powder Blue Tang (it was the Naso I was worried about as the PB was eating, fully active, great color, etc and the Naso still only eats brown algae). I also lost two Allens Damsels. I didn't notice anything wrong with any of...

Hi All! So Nina, my little blue tang looks so bad! it came out of nowhere too! I tried to take pics, but she's so quick it's hard to get a good one. I know that they're very susceptible to ich..but still..her looking fine one day and not the other makes me sad. I can't give you water specs..and...

I was wondering if anyone here knows how to get rid of this red velvet algae that's been growing on my rocks. It looks almost like fuzzy red felt. I tried turning off my full spectrum lights for a week, leaving only my actinic lights on, which prevented it from spreading. When I put my full...

Hello to all of you who have more experience than me...I need some of your knowledge! Between my LFS and what I read I diagnosed my male clownfish with velvet. So I set up a quaratine tank, and since its highly likely all fish were exposed put all 4 fish in...their all small (only running 29...
